BuGOKiAg. — Only two Gold Clocks have ever been 
awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society, one was to 
me for a splendid group, 40 ft. long, at the great Temple

to send the exact seeds and plants they possessed to

honour to England, particularly as it was awarded by 
experts from all uation.s.

The reasons why 
Cabbages go prema- 
turely to seed (bolt- 
ing) instead ofturning 
into heart are, first 
they have a natural 
tendency to revert to 
theirformer wild con- 
dition, and the next 
is feebleness of con- 
stitution from poor 
undeveloped seed.
