I other kind, not even excepting the oak. The genus 
: Larix is a small one; the following are the species;—■ 
I Larix Europaa (European, or Common Larch), L. 
\ Sihirica (Siberian L.), L. Dahuricaii (Dahuriau L.), 
I /y. Americana, and L. Americana jJendida (Weeping 
r.arch), L. leptolepis (Slender Scaled L.), from Japan; 
I not quite hardy in the north of Britain. Amongst these 
I the Weeping Larch is a great curiosity, and worthy of a 
! conspicuous situation in the Piuetum, but none of tlie 
rest are handsomer in growth, habit, and foliage, than 
the common Larch. T. Appleby.

I PANSIES EAISED AND GEOWN IN ENGLAND, j 
This list, in addition to tlie one sent me from Berwick, j 
by the Secretary of the Eastern Border Horticultural ' 
Society, will form as complete a list as any amateur or 
dealer need desire. 
I am sorry to have to report, that this autumn this 
favourite flower is suffering much from a disease, some¬ 
thing in the same way as the potato. Many collections 
have almost entirely perished. In particular, I saw that 
both Mr. Turner and Mr. Bragg, of Slough, had nearly 
lost all theirs, not one in ten had escaped in the open 
beds ; and that veteran in Pansey culture, Mr. Thomson, 
of Iver, in Buckinghamshire, informed me, a few days 
ago, that his stock out-of-doors were quite as bad. If 
these eminent growers fail, who can expect to escape ? 
The cause and cure of this disease are almost as mys¬ 
terious as the formidable potato murrain. I would 
advise every amateur that has a collection to preserve 
duplicates of his stock in pots, under cold frames, in 
order to ensure keeping them alive till spring. No doubt 
this very wet season has aggravated, if not caused this 
disease, and we may hope, if the anticipated dry frosty 
weather sets in this month, the complaint may bo 
checked in its progress.
