another in such a way as to make a globular bloom 
of handsome shape and not quite so formal as some 
others belonging to this type. It may be described 
as an incurved Japanese variety, making another fine 
addition to a section which has been vastly enriched 
within the past few years. For the accompanying 
illustration of it we are indebted to Mr. H. J. Jones, 
Ryecroft Nursery, Hither Green, Lewisham, who

ripening given are only approximate, as the 
character of the season, whether hot and dry, or cold

end, even in later districts. 
you give the better. This will help you this season, 
but in order to effect a permanent cure it will be 
your best plan to pull the Muscats out, and plant 
with Foster's Seedling, or Buckland’s Sweet water. 
Either of these varieties does well with Black 
Hamburgh and would shed their leaves early 
enough to suit you. 
Yines keeping their leaves, — Muscat Grapes 
naturally require more heat than Black Hamburgh, 
and consequently it is not wise to attempt to grow 
them both together in one and the same house. You 
might curtail the water supply to the border in which 
the Muscats are growing. Continue with the top 
and bottom ventilation in the same fashion as you 
have hitherto been doing. Of course the more air

Here the great width of the florets seems to act in 
reducing their number, and no doubt such is the 
casein actual reality. Thebloom is of great size and, 
though light in colour, is bold and beautifully 
effective on account of the massive appearance of the 
bright sulphur-yellow florets. The latter are very 
much incurved, twisted and interlaced with one

Merit for it from the Royal Horticultural Society on 
the roth inst. The blooms vary a little in shape 
according to the stage of development, and the outer 
florets become creamy-white ; but the variety is 
admitted by connoisseurs to be useful and decidedly 
handsome. Its character has been well proved during 
the past season.
