 first cluster produced the true red variety, but on the same plant 

 three trusses consisted of yellow fruit, as sent." Prof. Bailey 

 observed that he had raised yellow-fruited Tomatos from the 

 seed of red-fruited plants, but had not seen a case resembling 

 the present one in America, though he had known a cutting of 

 a red-fruited variety to bear yellow fruit, as well as a red fruit 

 being striped with yellow.

Scolopendrium var.— Mr. Marshall exhibited a plant raised 

 from a frond which was remarkable for its great size, being quite 

 a foot broad, and terminated with numerous barren subdivisions. 

 This frond was buried, leaving the terminal subdivisions only 

 exposed. Roots were formed at the bases of some of the sub- 

 divisions, so that five plants were raised. Of these two repeated 

 the remarkably broad fronds, two reverted to the wild form, and
