Hie plants in this tribe are very lovely, dowering freely, pro¬ 
ducing large, cup-shaped blossoms of exquisite beauty. They 
require a light, rich, dry, sandy soil, a little sandy peat added 
will be of use. C. umbellata is generally considered an annual, 
but it will live several years in such a soil, provided the seed- 
pods are nipped oil' early. 
Propagated by seeds sown on a gentle hotbed in April, and 
transplanted in patches on the prepared border towards the end 
of May. They may also be propagated by cuttings. The best 
I are the short side-shoots, which slipped off in May or June, and 
| set in sand under a hand-light, shaded from the sun, strike root 
but not very freely. By seed is the best, method of propagation.

Autumn Black.—T his is a variety raised by Mr. Rivers 
from the new race of Black Raspberries which lie lias for 
some years been experimenting upon. These Black Rasp¬ 
berries are evidently the result of a cross between the | 
Blackberry and the Raspberry, possessing tbe rambling 
growth of the former with the large succulent fruit of 
the latter. The Autumn Black produces from its summer 
shoots a full crop of medium-sized dark fruit of the 
colour of the Blackberry, aifd partaking much of its 
liavour. Ripe iu October. 
Barnet (Barnet Cane; Cornwell's Prolific; Cornwell's : 
Seedling; Large Red, Lord Fxmouth's ).—The fruit is | 
large, roundish-ovate, of a bright purplish-red colour. 
This is larger than the Red Antwerp, but not equal to it j 
iu flavour ; it is, nevertheless, an excellent variety, and 
an abundant summer bearer. 
Barnet Cane. See Barnet. 
Belle he Fontenay (Belle d’Orleans ).—An autumn¬ 
bearing variety of dwarf-habit, and with large leaves, 
quite silvery on their under surface. The fruit is large, 
round, of a red colour, and good flavour. Ripe iu October. 
The plant is a shy hearer, and throws up suckers so 
profusely as to be almost a weed; but if the suckers are 
thinned out it bears better. 
Belle d’Orleans. See Belle de Fontena/j. 
Black. —This is a hybrid between tbe Blackberry and 
the Raspberry, and is the parent of all the black autumn¬ 
bearing varieties ; although itself a summer-bearer. It 
has long dark-coloured eaues, and small purple fruit, with 
much of the Blackberry flavour. This variety was ob¬ 
tained at Wethersfield, in Essex, upwards of forty years 
ago, and has since been cultivated by Mr. Rivers, who 
has succeeded in obtaining from it his new race of autumn¬ 
bearing black varieties. 
Black Cap (American Black ).—This is the Rubus 
occidentalis, called Black Raspberry, or Thimbleberry, 
by the Americans. The fruit has a fine brisk acid flavour, 
and is much used in America for pics and puddings. It 
ripens later than the other summer-bearing varieties. 
Brinckle’s Orange (Orange ).—A variety introduced 
from America, where it is considered the finest yellow 
sort in cultivation. In this country it is smaller than 
the Yellow Antwerp, and more acid. The plants throw 
up an abundance of suckers. It is a summer bearer. 
Burley. See Red Antwerp. 
Carter’s Prolific. —Fruit large and round, of a deep 
red colour, with a firm flesh of excellent flavour. A 
summer-hearing variety. 
De Chili. See Yellow Antwerp. 
Cornwell’s Prolific. See Barnet. 
Cornwell’s Seedling. See Barnet. 
Cornwell’s Victoria. —The fruit of this variefy is 
large, and of fine flavour, but its drupes adhere so closely 
to the core as to crumble off in gathering. A summer 
beai’er. 
Cushing. —Fruit large, roundish, inclining to conical, 
of a bright crimson colour, and with a hriskly-acid 
flavour. A summer bearer. 
Cutbusli’s Prince of Wales. See Prince of Wales. 
Double-Bearing Yellow. See Yellow Antwerp. 
Fastolf (Filbg ).—Fruit large, roundish-couical, bright 
purplish red, and of excellent flavour. A summer bearer.

purplish-red colour, and good flavour, briskly acid. A

FORCED VINES FROST-BITTEN. 
I CAME to this place the beginning of last month, and found the 
earliest vinery in a poor state, the frost having destroyed the crop 
and foliage. I have been advised to cut the Vines down to the 
top of the front sashes, there being plenty of time to ripen what¬ 
ever wood they make this summer; but 1 am anxious to have 
your adviee. The Vines were cut down about six years ago, and 
the borders renewed.—A Subscriber. 
[If you describe the eireumstances correctly, the best practice 
will he to cut down the Vines. They will make strong canes, 
and ripen them well by the aid of a little fire heat iu the autumn.] 
TREATMENT OF NEGLECTED VINES. 
1 have a vinery 40 feet long and 18 feet wide, with ten I ines 
in the house, which had been much neglected for a very long 
time until three years sinee. The first and second years I had 
very good crops, but now the bunches that should he in flower 
grow weakly, and are all going off with a brownness and a dry¬ 
ness. The leaves are very luxuriant. The Vines are very old, 
and are planted inside the huuee in a border four feet wide
