young cordon Pears, there being about seventy trees 18 inches apart. 
These have been planted by Mr. Young and were mulched with decayed 
manure. Amongst the best varieties are Bergamotte Esperen, Beurre 
d’Amanlis, Beurre d’Aremberg, Beurrd Superfin, Doyenne du Comice, 
Emile d’Heyst, Clou Mor$eau, Josephine de Malines, Louise Bonne of 
Jersey, Marie Benoist, and Pitmaston Duchess. 
The open quarter of young Apple trees below the kitchen garden was 
earlier referred to. The space was formerly occupied by a few old trees 
of comparatively little use. These were promptly grubbed up, and 
as Raspberries, Strawberries, and Gooseberries, are lartely grown ; the 
former have been excellent this year. Dr. Hogg and James Veitch are 
favourite varieties of Strawberries, the whole crop looking well. Mr. 
loung does not follow the old plan of applying the mulch just previous 
to fruiting time, but places it between the rows in spring. Of Goose¬ 
berries, Currants, Ac., there are many hundreds of bushes. 
The vegetable quarters bear the impress of one who has learned 
kitchen gardening under Mr. Lumsden, and would do credit to that 
great vegetable grower himself; they are extensive and well stocked.

vigorous young trees of bush and pyramid planted in their place. It 
was late this spring when these were planted, but they were well 
•mulched, and give every indication of forming fine fruitful trees. 
Amongst the varieties may be noted Potts’ Seedling, a grand early Apple, 
Ecklinville Seedling, Stirling Castle, Winter Hawthornden, Dumelow's 
Seedling, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Greenup’s Pippin, Tower of Glamis—a 
“favourite variety, The Queen, Golden Noble, Warner’s King, School¬ 
master, Alfriston, Mannington’s Pearmain, Flanders Pippin, Domino, 
Peas good’s Nonesuch, Waltham Abbey Seedling, also much liked, Tom 
Putt, a capital amateur's Apple, and Maltster. Such other hardy fruits 
Three of the best Peas were G. F. Wilson, Eckford’s Progress, and 
Telephone. The first-named, as many know, is a fine variety of the 
Yeitch’s Perfection type ; it would be very hard to find a better flavoured 
sort. Progress is new, and has created a most favourable impression ; it 
is very prolific and sweet, growing about 5.’ feet high. This season has 
been a severe test of new Peas, which have perhaps scarcely had a fair 
chance ; still, there is the more credit due to such as have come well 
through the fiery ordeal. Telephone is now almost too well known to 
need comment; it is not likely to be discarded where tried. Autumn 
Cauliflowers are represented by Eclipse and Yeitch’s Autumn Giant;
