*-J the pleasure of informing their patrons and friends that 

 they are now sealing out this very excellent new Grape at 

 21«. each. 



Its distinguishing characteristics are as follows: — The folia?* 

 is more deeply serrated, and the wood shorter jointed than the 

 Black Hamburgh ; the berries are ovnl and rati elongated, 

 and are remarkable for a very tine bW n, not unlike th of 

 an Orleans IMum; when fully ripe are of a hne deep black, baring 

 a hue rich flavour, and very juicy. 



It colours full ten days earlier than the Black Hamburgh ; 

 being a most abundant bearer, and good setter, will pr»v 

 most desirable kind for pot-euUure. One very remarkable 

 property this Grape possesses, which much enhances its value, 



and makes it so superior to the Black Ha burgh is, that it 

 never produces nbortive. or, as they are termed, vinegar berries ; 

 after careful observation, extending over three ^uccesMve sea- 

 sons, not one could be detected, although in each season the 

 crop was abundant and good. The usual allowance to the 

 Trade.— Pine Apple Place, Edgeware Road, London.

last were exhibited on Tuesday to the Horticultural 

 Society, and beautjful looking contrivances they 

 were. Should they realise in any considerable 

 decree what there is great reason to believe they will 

 fully realise— a new era in gardening is about to 

 commence. For dead ugly cross- walls we shall have 

 beautiful glass partitions, for " blocks 

 we may expect great lengths of treillage ; for conser- 

 vative walls we shall get upright cases filled with 

 exotic leaves and flowers ; and even in the kitchen 

 garden " the foot of a south wall" may cease to be 

 an intelligible expression, when men shall have once 

 begun to grow their early vegetables, or to ripen 

 their forced Strawberries at the bottom of a glass box. 

 Conceive a line of flat iron uprights, nine feet 

 high, firmly secured to the ground, so that no dis- 

 placement is possible. Let the edges of these 

 uprights be pierced with holes, through which wires 

 may" be horizontally stretched, whereon to train 

 branches. At the distance of a foot from both faces 



too, that the -pace provided between the glass and 

 trellis is insufficient; an opinion in which we 

 concur in the case of slovenly gardeners who leave 

 a forest of breastwood or Pear-spurs 18 inches Ion. 

 on their trees ; but we believe that the -pace is 

 sufficient with good cultivation. At all events, if 

 the space should not suffice, the fault would be one 

 of detail, and not of principle. 



Concerning the main qaeation, prio% we are 

 unable at present to make any pttitive statement 

 The patentees will lose no time in communicating

 least as cheap as brick ones ; and if it were other- 

 wise their beauty, and obvi on oplicability to nume-

of the uprights, erect a perpendicular sash of glass. 

 House in the sashes with a glass coping, so con- 

 structed as to throw water off into gutters pre- 

 pared for its removal. Finally, give the upright 

 sashes a free motion to the right or left, that every 

 part of the trellis- work can readily be uncovered 

 and made accessible. The reader will 'then have 

 an idea of Mr. Ewing's glass wall, which, in fact, 

 is an erect glass case, 9 or 10 feet high and about 

 2 feet thick, perfectly transparent, within which all 

 manner of plants may be trained in the espalier 

 form, in a double line, one line facing the south, the 

 other the north, or otherwise, according to the direc- 

 tion of the wall. 



Some of the points which are gained by this plan 

 are of great importance in gardening, wholly irre- 

 spective of that gain which consists in substituting 

 an object of great beauty for one pre-eminently 

 ugly. The first of these is shelter an advantage 

 which a brick wall does not po *ss. Enclosed at

It wag a favourite notioa of the French botanist, 

 Tuepin, that every organism is at the development 

 of a single primitive cell. This is, in fact, the one 

 idea which pervades all his memoirs, and the germ 

 of almost eterv true r false theory which he pro- 

 pounded. Of "the notion itself, properly understood 

 and limited, there can he little doubt, th< t may 

 be practically impossible to insulate, as '! ^* pro- 

 posed, a single cell of some i mgam. and by 

 proper treatment to induce such an evolution as shall 

 give rise to a plant imilar to that from which it 

 was taken. For, though while the cells are in con- 

 nection, some privileged vesi*l« is in the embryo- 

 sac, or in any other part of the plait, may be the 

 origin of the new indmdnal, that cell, when iara- 

 la 1, might be wholly «nf ed for snoh an end. 

 Phenomena, similar to that of the occurrence of

 ingeniously explained by the supposition that a
