I have given only those sorts which I have grown and tested here. Of course 
mine will differ a good deal from the lists offered by gardeners generally, as 
their collections are necessarily more limited than those of nurserymen, and there¬ 
fore they have not the opportunity of testing and comparing so large a number 
of sorts. My own collection has afforded materials of an extended kind to select 
from ; and when I say that I now cultivate 1,200 sorts of Apples, and about 1,800 
sorts of Pears, it will be seen how easy it would have been to have made a more 
extensive selection, but I adhered to the wish expressed at p. 70, with regard 
to the number of kinds. I have, in selecting these, tried to infuse as much new 
blood as possible, still adhering to sorts that have been well proved by myself 
and others. I therefore trust that the lists I present you with may benefit 
some of your readers.— John Scott, Merriott. 
CAMPANULA PYRAMID ALIS ROSEA, AND OTHER 
BORDER PLANTS. 
|F all the showy plants in the mixed border, the Campanula pijramidalis 
rosea bears the bell here, at the present time. I planted out a few dozen 
plants of it in the spring, and many of them have grown from 3 ft. to 3| ft. 
(# in height, with many stems to each plant, and all are now in full flower. 
A few dozens of plants were grown in large pots, and flowered in the greenhouse
