fruit, witli the following observations :—“ The plant which 
produced them is one out of 145 ‘ Frogmore (red) selected.’ The 
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
