that way, I should feel extremely obliged by the result of Mr. S's expei-ence, iu 
answer to the following- questions. If they are rather minute, they will not be 
deemed less acceptable, by those who, like myself, are iu search of information. 
1. — At what age does he introduce the vines into the house ? 
2. — How does he treat them previously, so as to bring- them forward for forcing- > 
.•3. — Will they do in a hot-house ? or does he recommend the open air ? 
4. — Does he shift his bearing plants every year? 
5. — What length of rod, or how many buds does he leave on a plant' 
(). — What are the names of the sorts called in page 8, "naturally prolific," 
which he recommends? 
7, — Would not the Vines do better if planted outside the back wall, for the 
rafters ? 
8. — Does he use liquid manure? 
An answer to these inquiries in your next, if possible, will oblige,

Black Hambbo' Vines. I have a number of Black Ilambro' Vines, that every 
year produce abundance of very fine, excellent fiavoured fruit, but iu many 
of the bunches it is usual to see several berries marked or blotched with light 
brown spots or lines. 1 have tried to find out the cause and remedy for it, but 
have hitherto failed. I will thank any of the readers of your Register to poijit 
them out to me.

Insects on the Garijen Bean. — Can any of the readers of the Register inform 
me what is the easiest mode of destroying the black insect, infesting the Common 
Bean. Iu the neighbourhood of London, the chief part of the crops, are this year 
destroyed by the iusL-ct iu question. I have just been informed, that pinching off 
the tops of the Beans, tolerably early in their growth, prevents it ; but not having 
an opportunity of trying- it this season, I shall be glad to be informed if this has 
been found eflectual elsewhere.

Proposed Garden in Regent's Park. — Gentlemen, — I am much pleased 
with the new number of your Publication, and will recommend it where I can. 
If you abstain from mixing other subjects in with Gardening, you will succeed. 
Let me jstrongly recommend a Show Garden of a few acres, in the Regent's 
Park, whcie conservatories, and hot-houses, heated or glazed on new principles 
may be seen, and new flowers exhibited. The principal walk should be paved, 
because the conservatories will drav,- pecp'e in all weather, when grass or gravel 
would be uncomfortable ; as in showery weather early in the spring, or after frost 
in winter. I would also recommend the conservatories to be paved with large 
bricks, having a running patt^-rn of ivy, in dark colour on tliein ; this would give 
a very rich and warm look, much like mosaic, and it would be new. — A library, 
hortus siccus, Sic. may be attached. Premiums should be offered for the best pro- 
ductions of Grapes, f/^'^-, .l/e/ti»j, and Pines, from the 1st of December to the 1st 
of July. 
Particular attention should be paid to the improvements of the Alpine Straw- 
berry, endeavouring to obtain a mixture of the old Carolina -dPid continuing that 
delicious fruit fromthe 1st of September to Christmas.
