Hence thecultivation of the true sort, subsequently obtained, ismore limited than ?^Tould have otherwise been the accompanying outline represents a fruit of mediumsize fiom a standard ; but in rich soil, and a less drysummer than the pnst, it may be grown much fleeh is yellowish-white, melting, buttery, and rich;the flavour somewhat resembles that of the Glout Mor-ceau. Its season is generally from the middle ofJanuary, till March. The shoots are olive-brown, wirhshort, rather hoary buds. Leaves middle-sized good bearer as a standard ; and it will be found a mostuseful variety, owing to its period of ripening,—i?. PLANT-POTTING. To understand plant-potting thoroughly, so as to bequite capable of applying the materials used in this com-mon, but too often imperfectly-performed operation, isabstractly the practical solution of cannot teach this alone. Practice, founded upona physiological knowledge of the wants of plants, and akind of finger-and-thumb morle of supplying those wants,will enable us pretty clearly to comprehend ir. Different kinds of plants require different soils. ACape Heath, for example, must have peat, whereas aPelargonium requires loaro. Notwithstanding this dif-ference in soil, they must be both potted so that waterwill pass freely through the whole body of earth in thepot. Hence, if water circulatfs unobstructedly throughthe entire mass of earth in which the plant is growing,and the superfluous water escapes with perfect freedomat the bottom of the pot; so air, in like manner, willdiffuse itself spontaneously s
