 Waltham Abbey seedling. 



From A. Henley Payne, Esq., Lyne Grove, near Chertsey, a

 garden at that place. They appeared to be the variety called the

From R. Brook, Esq., F.H.S., specimens of Muscat of Alex- 

 andria grapes, and of Gansels Bergamot, and Duchesse d' An- 

 goulfime Pears.

 six species of Erica. 



From Mr. Dunsford, Gardener to Baron Dimsdale, flowers of 

 Cattleya labiata. 



From Messrs. Low and Co., of Clapton, flowers of Cattleya 

 Mossice, a very beautiful plant, supposed to be distinct from the 

 last mentioned, but resembling it very much, except in the rich 

 purple of the labellum being broken up into spots, and mixed 

 with a slight yellow tinge. 



From Messrs. Lane and Co., of Berkhampstead, a considerable 

 collection of Roses. 



From the Society's Garden, a large collection of Cactaceous 

 plants sent from Mexico by Mr. Theodor Hartweg, the Society's 

 collector; various flowers, among which were many kinds of 

 seedling Chrysanthemums, a creeping rooted Dahlia of very dwarf 

 habit, lately imported from Mexico, Lupinus Barkeri and lepto- 

 carpus, two new species recently obtained from the same country ; 

 and a considerable collection of Apples and Pears. Among the latter 

 were especially worthy of notice the Brougham pen r, so abundant 

 a bearer that the trees are apt to exhaust themselves the Figue 

 de Naples Pear, which requires to be gathered before it parts 

 freely from the tree, otherwise it does not become melting ; and 

 the Deptford New Apple, a variety resembling the Golden Pippin, 

 and an abundant bearer. It was stated that in the present season 

 late fruit was not much increased in size at Midsummer, and con- 

 sequently not only its maturation, but most of its growth was 

 made under a great decrease in the length of the days, and in 

 unusually wet and cloudy weather.
