One great value of Miss —— book М that 
she bas brought together into volume an 
mense mass of information of which very little is 
excellent, She has searched old 
rolls, A 1 and probably hundreds of books, more 
or less bearing on her subject ; but perhaps the most 
interesting extracts that she has given us are those 
from the different accounts of garden expenses at 
various timer, and in different parts of the country, 
and the bills for fruit and other garden — 
supplied to Royal and other great houses and she 
haa shown that, from the first, the pay was 
that 
strength that they could defy even the Lor yor 
of London, and could demand and un tain а Ver

their own demands than with thé: wishes of the

chapter on the literature of Eoglish gatdening. The

Tring (gr, Mr. Е, Hill), the house filled with 
flowering for the first time. 
The petals are of the eize and rich rose-crimson 
colour of an ordinary good L. anceps. The front 
lobe of the lip is of à glowing crimson, and the side- 
lobes are veined and striped with a similarly bright 
hue, but the chief distinguishing feature consists in 
base, the outer half 
rose-crimson, the 
chocolate lines on them as t

feature. J. O'B,

of your ere as 2 a fruit-plant, well worth 
urprised that the plant does

fruits each, the size of a Pear. By the same post 
Iam sending you a fruit iai a pbotegraph of the 
tree as it atands ( five. 121, 122). Next to this — 
we hav ed out Anona squamos?, 
molia Loxensie, which have also fruited this 2 
опа squamosa is generally well known, but A. 
Cherimolia Loxe is muc ore rare, and the 
fruit, according to Linden, must be superior to that 
of Anona Cherimolie, which it resembles ape 
and size, but it has the skin raised all over the 
surface so as to form little spines. Joh, sod
