Fn)m the Uv\. (ilyd White, of Kwelme, near lU'nsington, 

 siHH'iuiens of an Jj'j'h t ailed Hall'.s Watlini^ton Seedlin};;. They 

 were ac(»»nij)anied by the followini^ note fnnn ]\Ir. White: — 



•* Hall's Watlini^ton Seedling was raised about thirty years 

 apo by Mr. Hall, a cooper, jit the market-town of Watlini;ton, 

 from the pip of a Non|)areil. Like its conj^eners of the non- 

 pareil tribe, it is of rather a delicate habit, but forms a beautiful 

 dwarf standard of uprip;ht growth, when jji^rafted on the creeper, 

 and may be pronounced to be a pjood bearer. One which I have 

 planted against a low wall of a N.W^ aspect, bears fruit of supe- 

 rior size and flavour. In short, if 1 am not much mistaken, it 

 is a sort very deserving of being brought into notice, and * Ilonos 

 crit huic quoque Porno.' 



" llaggerslonc Pippin. — As I saw in one of the late Gardener's 

 Magazines that sj)ecimcns of this excellent late keeping apple 

 have been exhibited on the Society's table, and as I am in pos- 

 session of some particulars relating to its origin, which may not 

 be generally known, 1 think it right to send them. It was 

 raised by a Mr. Haggerstone, at Cambridge, about the year 180.5, 

 from the pip of an apple received in a barrel from America by 

 Dr. Raine, of the Charter House, by whom it was presented to 

 Mr. H. I have found it to be very hardy, and an excellent 

 bearer. From its late period of blossoming it often bears a good 

 crop of fruit when earlier sorts arc cut off." 



From the Society's Garden, a collection of greenhouse plants, 

 among which were Lissanthe verticillata, a graceful and singular 

 Swan River shrub, and Chorozema varium, a beautiful novelty 

 from the same country. 



Cuttings of the following fruit trees were distributed j 



The Late Duke Cherry ; not so sweet as the May Duke, but 

 much larger, and very abundant, ripening as late as the month 

 of August. Bigarreau Napoleon Cherry a sort well deserving of 

 cultivation ; it is a more abundant bearer than the Common 

 Bigarreau, and the fruit is larger and darker coloured. Royal 

 Hdtive and Heine Claude l iolette Plums ; these rival the Green 

 Gage in point of flavour, and are the best purple plums of their 

 respective seasons. The Royal HSitive is almost new in this 

 country^ : it ripens nearly a fortnight earlier than the Reine Claude 

 Vlolette.
