It has seeded here for the first time thisseason, and its club-shaped, woolly pods are by nomeans the least ornamental feature in the the Ceanothus previously mentioned, we mayallude to C. Arnoldi as a free-flowering and perfectlyhardy shrub, with pale blue blossoms. C. Gloire deVersailles and C. spectabilis roseus are also verypretty varieties. We also remarked here several varieties of theAmerican Blackberries, which deserve much moreattention than they get at present. One of the bestof all is the Lawton, a most prolific bearer of large,jet-black and finely-flavoured berries. The blackfruits of the Kittitinne are also of fine quality, and aslarge as Mulberries. The Dorchester variety mayalso be mentioned as being amongst the Three Days Shows.—The great shows of thecurrent year having passed away, the framing of newschedules for 1878 will soon occupy the attention ofsecretaries, indeed one or two are already in print,and as three days shows which terminate on Satur-days seem to be the order of the day, permit me todraw the attention of the promoters to the great los:-,inconvenience, and sacrifice which attend this arrange-ment, and to inquire if nothing can be done to relievedistant exhibitors, who are obliged to pack and travelthe day before the shows open to the public, andcannot by any possible chance return before the follow-ing Monday. To make large shows pay, I am wellaware that they must be attended by the masses, andwe are told that Saturdays are the only paying days ;but, judging from appearances, I am inclined to thinkthe majfxity of the visitors could have attended theSeptember shows equally well ear
