We cannot undertake to name Roses, especially when received in bad condition, as yours were.

Populus Candicans, the grey or common white Poplar. William's book on Ferns will probably suit your purpose.

The Caterpillar Goat-Moth (Charles Hull)

The only remedy for this is in killing the moth, which may be observed sitting near its cocoon protruding from the hole formed by the caterpillar, and destroying the caterpillars themselves by thrusting a wire up the holes, or filling the holes with tobacco smoke, or, as they do in America sometimes, with chloroform.

The Cherry And Medlar

Their History, Varieties, Cultivation, and Diseases. By D. T. Fish. The Bazaar Office, 170 Strand, London.

In this treatise, Mr Fish has done for the Cherry and Medlar, what in former ones he has done for the Peach, Plum, Pear, etc.; but we think he has done better in this instance, inasmuch as he has evidently studied brevity more: and it will, like the others, be a help to all seeking information on Cherry and Medlar culture.

The Cineraria

Cannot be dispensed with; there is such a diversity of colour amongst them, that they have long held a high position, and will continue to do so. For their cultivation, I would refer those who are going to try for the first time to the able article of J. H. in May number. As we can fully endorse all he says of them, we do little or nothing with named sorts. From carefully-selected seed we get them sufficiently good for all purposes, unless for exhibition. A. H.

At Elemore Hall, Durham, there were 336° of frost from the 14th to 25th of January. The lowest temperature - 44° below freezing - took place on the 25th, that being the lowest ever registered at Elemore.

At Brayton Hall, Cumberland, 2° and 4° below zero were registered on the 14th and 16th of January, and the total frost for the month was 440°.

The Frost At Bothwell Castle In January

The month gave 5694° frost, or nearly 18 1/2° for each day. On six days the temperature fell (and on the 16th and 17th, 7° and 6°) below zero.

The Greenhouse

By the Editor of ' The Floral World.' Groombridge & Sons, London.

The object of this work is to represent, by coloured figures and engravings, the more popular greenhouse plants; and by practical treatises on the culture and management of greenhouse plants, the Camellia, the Azalea, the Fuchsia, etc, have been treated of. Altogether the work is well executed. It is issued in monthly parts, and is well suited to amateurs in particular.
