gage, but far exceeding it in size. A first-rate fruit ; sweet, and very fine- 

 flavoured." (p. 261.) 



The above-described sorts will all be proved in the Chiswick 

 Garden, and their respective merits made public through this 

 Mao-azine; but, in the mean time, plants may be procured of 

 Mr. Kenrick, the author of the book, who is a nurseryman at 

 Newton, near Boston, United States. 



All the new fruits which are deserving of general cultivation 

 will, as Mr. Thompson observes, be found in the new edition of 

 cur Encyclopcedia of Gardening, completed in one volume on the 

 1st of December last, ISS*; and also publishing in Numbers, 

 the l^th of which appears with the present Magazine. The 

 catalogues of fruit trees given in the above work would more 

 than fill two of our Magazines, otherwise we should reprint 

 them here; but, for the benefit of those who cannot afford to 

 purchase the Eiicyclopccdia, or have not an opportunity of re- 

 ferring to it, we give from it Mr. Thompson's selections for 

 small gardens. These may be confidently relied on, as by 

 far the best selections that ever have been made for the cot- 

 tager : for no man is better acquainted with the subject of fruits 

 than Mr. Thompson ; and no man has the interest of this 

 portion of his fellow-creatures more at heart. All the synonymes 

 belonging to the following names will be found in the Encyclo- 

 pcedia, or in the Horticidtural Society's Catalogue of FruitSj

" For training against Cottages, or Walls in Cottage-Gardens. ' It often hap- 

 pens, that one or more trees can be trained against a cottage wall or roof, or 

 against some wall appertaining to a cottage ; in these cases, the proper sorts 

 are Ribston pippins. Old nonpareils, and, if a large kitchen apple be required, 

 the Bedfordshire foundling.' 



" In Situations liable to Sjyring Frosts, ' which so often kill the blossoms of 

 the generality of apples, the Court pendu plat is recommendable, as its blos- 

 soms expand very late in the season.'
