Some very interesting and instructive particulars as to the 

 blossoming and ripening of fruit trees in the gardens at Pierre- 

 mont, Darlington, have been kindly forv^arded by Henry Pease, 

 Esq., extending over twelve years, and relating to the same trees. 

 These returns are very suggestive.
