the different stages of those which, in general, are the most destructive to the 

 orchard, and by pointing out the times in which they appear under various 

 forms, and the places they inhabit, the countryman or gardener will be 

 enabled in most cases to keep his orchard free from such injurious insects 

 with little trouble. 



[The insects alluded to are, 1. Papilio cratae v gi Linn. ; 2. .Bombyx chrysor- 

 rhce v a Linn.; 3. i?6mbyx Neustria Linn.; 4. J56mbyx dispar Linn.: but, as 

 the descriptions of them given are only extracts from the work already 

 alluded to, and as that work will so soon be published, we do not think it 

 necessary to give them here.]

VEGETABLE Organography; or, an Analytical Description of the Organs of Plants. 

 By M. Aug. P. De Candolle, &c. Translated by Boughton Kingdom. 

 In monthly parts, 8vo. 2s. 6d. each. Parts I. and II., February and 

 March, contain 99 pages of letterpress, and 5 octavo plates. London, 1839. 



The translator, in his address, truly observes that it has been a subject of 

 surprise and regret, that no edition of De Candolle's elementary works has 

 appeared in an English dress. This desideratum it is his intention to supply ; 

 commencing with Vegetable Organography, which he expects to complete in 

 16 parts, at 2s. 6d. each, forming two handsome 8vo volumes; and next 

 translating De Candolle's Vegetable Physiology. The intention is most laud- 

 able, and we do most ardently hope that Mr. Kingdom may receive such 

 encouragement as may induce him to proceed till he has completed both 

 works. One thing only we have to suggest to him ; viz., that he ought to 

 introduce notes, either of his own, or those of some other competent botanist, 

 so as to bring down each particular subject to the present time. We most 

 strongly recommend the work to all our readers who have a taste for plants s 

 and more especially to all young gardeners.

The Amateur Florisfs Assistant in the Selection and Cultivation of Popular 

 Annuals ; to which is added a Descriptive Catalogue of the more interesting 

 tender Perennials used in decorating the Parterre, and a copious List of 

 European ornamental Alpine Plants. By George Willmot. Printed for 

 the Author, and to be had at the Nursery, Lewisham. London, 12mo, 

 pp. 76. Edinburgh, 1839. 



The author of this work is the son of the late Mr. Willmot, the highly 

 respectable nurseryman and seedsman of Lewisham. The work was composed 

 in Edinburgh, while the author was apprenticed to our esteemed correspond- 

 ent Mr. Lawson, and is highly creditable to him. The following extract from 

 the preface shows what the reader is to expect in this small, closely printed, 

 cheap, and most useful volume.
