tiuit wiiy, I should feel extrtMnely obliged by llie result of Mr. S’s experience, iu 
answer to the following' questions. If they are rather minute, tliey will not be 
deemed le.ss acceptable, by those who, like my.self, are in 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-hou.se ? 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 Hambro’ Vines. I have a number of Black Hambro’ Vines, that every 
year produce abundance of very fine, excellent flavoured fruit, but in many 
of the bunches it is usual to see several berries marked or blotched with light 
brow'n spots or lines. 1 have tried to find out the cause and retnedy for it, but 
have hitherto failed. I will thauk any of the readers of your Register to point 
them out to me.

Insects on the Garden 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. In the neighbourhood of London, the chief part of the crops, are this year 
destroyed by the in.sect in question. I have just been informed, that pinching oft’ 
the tops of the Beans, tolerably early in their growth, prevents it; but not having 
an opportunity of trying it this season, I shall he glad to be informed if this has 
been found eftectnal elsewhere.

Proposed Garden in Regent’s Park. —Gentlemen,— 1 am much plea.sed 
with the new number of your Publication, and will recommend it where I can. 
If you abstain from mixing other subjects iu with Gardening, you will succeed. 
Let me strongly recommend a Show Garden of a few acres, in the Regent’s 
Park, where conservatories,'and hot-houses, heated or glazed on new principles 
may bo seen, and new flowers exhibited. The principal walk should be paved, 
because the conservatories will draw people in all weather, when grass or gravel 
would be uncomfortable j 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 pattern of ivy, in dark colour on them j this would give 
a very rich and warm look, much like mosaic, and it would be new.—A library, 
hortus siccus, &.c, may be attached. Premiums should be oftered for the best pro¬ 
ductions of Grapes, Vii^e, Melons, and Pines, from the Ist of December to the 1st 
of July. 
Particular attention should be paid to the improvements of tlic Alpine Straw¬ 
berry, endeavouring to obtain a mixture of the old Carolina and continuing tlila’f 
delieious fruit fromthe 1st of September to Christmas.
