Cottagers’ Gardens. —The plan set on foot at the heo-iuning' of the present 
year, by the inhabitants of Cheshunt, for providing small allotments of ground for 
the poor men of that parish, has succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectation 
of the promoters, and has produced the desired effect—that of reducing the parish 
burthen, and displaying to the labourer, in glowing colours, what may be done by 
industry. The potato crop, is now in the progress of removal, and will soon be 
replaced by' cabbage and other vegetables for winter use. 
HORTICULTURAL RARITIES. 
Melon. —On Tuesday Aug.‘23rd, a Melon was cut by Mr. Bartlett, Nurseryman 
of New Bond Street, Bath, measuring three feet in circumference, and weighing 
19.5 Jbs.—This Melon is represented as the largest ever grown in England. 
Curious Fruit. —It is well known that the Peach aud Nectarine are varieties of 
a natural species, called by Liunceus, Amygdalus Persica, bnt it is not common to 
see them blended together, as some other varieties of plants and flowers are, upon 
the same individual. There was grown this season in the garden of Mr. Cornfield, 
Rectory Grove, Clapham, a single fruit, decidedly half Peach half Nectarine.
