branched,  later  sparingly  or  not  branched,  conidia  or  spores  hyaline, 
elliptical.  We  advise  the  destruction  of  all  affeoted  leaves,  and  spraying 
with  dilute  Bordeaux  mixture  (1  lb.  copper  sulphate  and  1  lb.  quicklime 
to  124  gallons  of  water).  Perhaps  spraying  with  sulphide  of  potassium 
solution  would  be  effectual  in  preventing  the  spread  of  the  disease, 
but  it  must  not  be  used  strong,  commencing  with  1  oz.  to  6  gallons  of 
water,  and  taking  care  to  reach  the  under  side  of  the  leaves.  Repeating 
at  intervals  of  three  days,  as  you  propose,  may  be  attended  with  good 
results. 
Names  of  Fruit. —  Correspondents  whose  queries  are  unanswered  in 
the  present  issue  are  respectfully  requested  to  consult  the  following  number. 
( C .,  Portsmouth). — 1,  Winter  Peach;  2,  New  Northern  Greening;  3, 
Roundway  Magnum  Bonum  ;  4,  Northern  Greening;  5  and  6,  both 
Sugarloaf.  {Edw.  Wallcer). — 1,  Cox’s  Orange  Pippin,  slightly  out  of 
character  ;  2  and  3,  both  Ecklinville  Seedling.  The  tree  bearing  the 
small  fruits  (No.  2)  has  simply  been  from  a  poor  stock  ;  it  is  true  to 
name  however.  {Admirer). — They  are  certainly  very  interesting  and 
of  much  ornamental  value.  As  we  stated  in  cur  recent  notes,  they 
can  be  grown  in  any  sheltered,  sunny  garden.  Your  specimens,  so 
near  as  we  can  identify  them,  are  : — 1,  Warted  Squash,  a  variety  of 
Cucumis  maximus  ;  2,  Striped  Gourd;  3,  Melon  Gourd;  atd 
4,  Yellow  Bishop’s-cap.  {Banker). — Apple  Lord  Suffield  ;  Pear 
Duchesse  d’Angouleme.  (Dr.  Ticehurst).  —  Knight’s  Monarch. 
(IF.  Lamond). — We  consulted  Mr.  S.  T.  Wright,  the  superintendent 
of  the  Royal  Horticultural  Society’s  gardens  at  Chiswick,  and  he 
believes  your  Apple  to  be  purely  a  local  one,  having,  however,  some 
Gravenstein  “  blood  ”  in  it.  We  advise  you  to  send  it  to  a  meeting 
of  the  Royal  Horticultural  Society  next  season  when  it  is  at  its  best. 
The  Apple  is  an  exceedingly  good  one,  and  is  well  worth  bringing  to 
notice.  {A.  H.  Lawrence). —  1,  Pear  Duchesse  d’Angouleme;  2, 
Duchesse  d’Angonleme  ;  3,  Marie  Louise  d’Uccle;  4,  Marechal  de  la 
Cour ;  5,  Beurre  Diel ;  6,  Improved  Keswick  Codlin ;  7,  Ribston 
Pippin ;  8,  Ribston  Pippin ;  9,  Lamb  Abbey  Pearmain.  (/.  M.  F., 
Bristol).  —  1,  Cox’s  Orange  Pippin;  2,  Ecklinville  Seedling;  3, 
Worcester  Pearmain  ;  4,  rotten  ;  5,  Fondante  d’Automne.  {S.  G.). — 
Yes,  the  Grape  is  Black  Alicante  ;  Peach  Barrington.  (R.  C.  Appleton). 
— All  are  true  to  name  ;  the  nursery  firm  you  name  are  noted  for 
correctly  named  stock.  1,  Royal  Jubilee;  2,  James  Greive ;  3, 
Cockle  Pippin  ;  4,  Small’s  Admirable ;  5,  New  Northern  Greening.  To 
prevent  attack  by  the  Codlin  moth,  why  do  you  not  practise  spraying  ? 
As  you  say,  the  moth,  or  the  grub  of  it,  is  very  prevalent  this  season. 
One  can  hardly  eat  an  Apple  without  also  having  to  swallow  the  larvae 
of  the  Ccdlin  moth.  Such  a  stale  of  things  reflects  little  to  the  credit 
of  our  growers.  {B.  M.  D.,  Yorks.). — 1,  Stoke  Pippin  ;  2,  Lord 
Burghley ;  3,  Cox’s  Orange  Pippin  ;  4,  Worcester  Pearmain  ;  5,  Emperor 
Alexander.  {J.  H.  W.,  Rotherham). — 1,  Barchard’s  Seedling ;  2,  Ribston 
Pippin;  3,  Yorkshire  Beauty  ;  4,  Alfriston.  {H.  W.,  Herts). — The  Grape 
is  the  ordinary  White  Muscadine  so  ex'ensively  grown  on  cottage  walls 
throughout  the  more  southern  counties  of  England.  It  is  used  for  wine 
making.  We  ourselves  gathered  34  lbs.  of  this  Grape  from  an  old  Vine 
on  our  own  dwelling  at  Kew,  Surrey,  the  superficial  space  which  our 
Vine  covers  being  about  90  square  feet,  and  this  is  certainly  a  good 
yield.  The  Grape  that  supplies  the  currants  of  commerce  is  a  variety 
of  Vitis  vinifera,  named  “  corinthiaca,”  from  its  being  largely  cultivated 
there  in  earlier  times.  It  is  a  small,  seedless  variety.  It  is  also  grown 
commercially  at  Patras,  Zante,  Ithaca,  and  other  centres. 
Names  of  Plants. — Correspondents  whose  queries  are  unanswered  in 
the  present  issue  are  respectfully  requested  to  consult  the  following 
number.  {H.  B.). —  Centaurea  nigra,  the  Knapweed.  It  is  a  difficult 
plant  to  eradicate,  and  we  can  suggest  no  remedy  so  effectual  as  that 
of  persistent  uprooting,  done  by  hand.  {G.  A.).— 1,  Zauschneria  Cali¬ 
fornia  ;  2,  Helianthns  mollis;  3,  Helenium  autumnale  striatum;  4,  Aster 
dumosus.  (D.  A.). — Berberis  (Mahonia)  nepalensis.  (F.). — 1,  Aster 
horizontalis  ;  2,  Aster  laevis  var. ;  3,  Cimioifuga  japonica;  4,  Viola 
cornuta;  5,  Juniperus  rigidus.  (Afred  Tait). —  1,  Solidago  caesia ;  2, 
Doronicum  Pardalianches ;  3,  Panicum  longistylum.  {Borderer). — 1, 
Hedera  Helix  elegantissima ;  2,  H.  H.  gracilis;  3,  H.  H.  max ginata  media; 
4,  H.  H.  grandifolia ;  5,  H.  H.  maderiensis  variegata;  all  are  first  rate 
Ivies  for  training  to  walls.  {A.  Jones). — Scolopendrium  vulgare 
marginatum.  {M.  L.  G.) — Euonymus  latifolius.
