Flemish.— Pomologists have fallen into great mistakes 
with regard to this cherry, particularly those who make 
it synonymous with Gros Gobet; others think it the 
same as the Kentish. The latter is nearer the truth ; but 
the Kentish aucl Flemish are decidedly different. The 
fruit of the two could not be distinguished the one from 
the other; but the trees of the Flemish are less drooping 
than those of the Kentish, and the fruit is smaller, and 
about eight or ten days later. Anyone who examines 
the two varieties as they are grown in the Kentish 
orchards w ill see at once that the varieties arc different.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS. 
MANURING AND PRUNING OF ROSES. 
. “ Should manure be put round the roots of Roses now, or in 
tlie spring ? Is anything to be gained by pruning Rose trees in 
the autumn ? Some books advocate this plan, on the ground 
that no sap is wasted upon the wood which must eventually be 
cut away. Certainly, the buds at the extremities of the shoots 
appear tlie finest. I have, liow’ever, a fancy, and rather more 
than a fancy, that this checks the winter growth of the roots, and 
thus weakens tlie plant. Is this so ? ”—A Devonshire Sub¬ 
scriber. 
[Put the manure to your Roses without further delay. As 
we know you to ho a good practical amateur, before replying to 
your question about pruning Roses, wc would ask, whether 
anything, in your opinion, is to ho gained by pruning old, and 
half-decayed, or half-worn out, Apple trees, in Devonshire, in the 
autumn? Is anything gained by -pruning Cherries, and all stone 
fruit trees, without exception, in the autumn—that is, as far as 
pruning can he effected in the apparent absence of flower-buds ? 
And is it better to cut down coppice in your climate at. the fall 
of tlie leaf, or late in the spring ? You vdl probably say, that 
when increased strength, or increased health is required, both are 
gained, as far as priming can gain them, by pruning in the 
autumn. Roses and all other deciduous plants may be a little
