frnit. It was a sight. The steward and gardener who lived at 

 Eck'inville when I visited it was Mr. McLiuachan, a very 

 worthy man, who could exhibit other subjects worth seeing 

 besides the above Apple. He used to show the Eeklinville 

 Seedling at the horticultural exhibitions at Belfast as a kitchen 

 Apple. It carried all before it there. As a sauce Apple there 

 in none to equal it. What an Apple for a market gardener ! 

 The only wonder is that it has not been planted in this country 

 by tens of thousands. Plants can be had in the Irish nurse- 

 ries, at least in those around Belfast. — W. Hutchinson, Gar- 

 dener, Llwyndu Court, Abergavenny.

A YOUNG GARDENEKS GROWL. 



Would yon be so kind as to solve the following problem — 

 How are young gardeners to learn to know fruits, their qualities, 

 &c, when never allowed to ta3te ? 



My own experience is, that you may look but not touch, and 

 ev?n if seen to be looking very minutely you are suspected of 

 eating. Now, when fruit trees are not labelled, as in far too 

 many cases they are not, it is a matter of some difficulty to 

 learn to recognise apart a dozen of each of the best hardy fruits. 

 Yet that is a small number towards the many vaiieties that 

 are in cultivation. I am ashamed to own it, but I could not 

 pick out a dozen varieties of all the hardy fruits by taste and 

 appearance to be in any way certain about them, and yet I have 

 been tight years at the trade. Certainly I have been chiefly 

 out of the great fruit-growing distiicts. I have been under 

 different gardeners, but only one ever offered to give me the 

 slightest chance of learning the qualities of fruits, though often 

 asked in a quiet way. It is not pleasant to be obliged to go 

 about like a thief, as indeed one is, to get a taste of fruit which 

 you are expected to know full particulars about. It is my 

 belief that a third of the gardeners do not know one-quarter of 

 the different fruits in cultivation, and apart from a list would 

 be puzzled to name a collection to stock a garden, so as to give 

 a proper and succeseional supply of fruit. 



What I say of hardy fruits is still more applicable to in-doop 

 fruits — Grapes, &c, as it is not in many places that there is 

 anything like a complete collection. Your eyes will tell yon the 

 difference between a Black Hamburgh and a Muscat of Alex-
