Mr 'J'hompson rci)orted from the Orchard and Kitchen Garden 

 as follows ; 



Denver's Victoria plum lias fruited ow a west wall ; it bears 

 much resemblance to iSharf)'s Em])eror and when a comparison 

 can be made under more similar circumstances it may pro- 

 bably be found synonymous- — it is rather large and handsome, 

 of tolerably good flavour, but by no means equal to many others 

 that have been in fruit this season ; as for example the Heine 

 Claude Violette, Royale Hfitive, Perdrigon IltLtive to which the 

 Moyen de Bourgogne has proved synonymous^ Brignolle Violette, 

 Royale de Tours, Damas Blanche hative, Fotheringham, Knight's 

 Large Green drying, Ickworth Imperatrice. 'J'he above may 

 all be depended on as possessing a high degree of excellence — 

 Amongst the trees received as the Green Oage or Reine Claude, 

 some have been found of less excellence than others and are 

 marked to be destroyed — Gonne's Green Gage has proved to 

 be the Yellow Gage and is also inferior to the (ireen Gage. 



The Pine Apple Melon, distributed two years ago, has been 

 fruited and proved very good ; such however was not the case 

 with several varieties received from the Bermudas, some of 

 which were of very inferior quality. 



Poittevin's Disinfected Manure has been applied for the growth 

 of Turnips at the rate of 64 bushels per acre. There has been 

 abundance of rain to dilute it, yet between the rows so manured 

 and others contiguous which had no manure, the difference . in 

 growth, as may be now seen, is not such as is likely to balance 

 the expence ; nor does it seem probable that a beneficial result 

 will be obtained. It seems to answer best in the form of ma- 

 nure water ; but in this way it is not equal to that obtained 

 from farm yard manure.
