PKOCEEDINGS. 



in his case at least, this could not have been, for his Melons 

 had never been watered. A plant with six fruit on it was 

 reported to have four out of the six diseased. 



Novelties from the Society's Garden. The Early Ulm 

 Savoy (Chou de Milan tres Hatif d'Ulm), and the Tomato 

 Capsicum, descriptions of both of which will be found in 

 page 284 ; also fruit of the Olwer Grape, described in 

 Vol. III. p. 307 of this Journal. It is a Rhenish wine 

 Grape, stated to possess peculiar properties. Along with 

 the Olwer Grape came fruit of the Black Prince and Chas- 

 selas Musque. The latter is considered one of the finest 

 Muscat -flavoured Grapes; but, unfortunately for those who 

 prefer that flavour, this variety has got a bad character, as 

 regards the liability of its berries to crack in swelling. But 

 it may be grown without any thing whatever of this defect. 

 In the present dry season not one cracked berry has been 

 observed on the plant in the Society's Garden ; and doubt- 

 less, in seasons not so dry, borders may be managed so as to 

 suit it. The evil, therefore, is entirely under the gardener's 

 control.
