In my communication in the last number of the Horticulturist, when speaking of the blossom-buds of the British Queen, bearing on Dr. Hull's grounds, you make me say a quarter of them bore: my notes said, or should of said, the greater part of the blossom-buds perfected fruit. r. g. p.

Errata #1

In your last number, containing my article on "the curled leaf of the peach," there are two errors of the press. 1. At p. 65, line 18th from the bottom, the word nominally is put for normally. 2. At p. 66, 19th line from the bottom, the word renewed is put in place of removed.

This last error is quite important, since the renewal of the covering could do no good, while its removal is needful to admit the sun to the roots of the trees. C. E. Goodrich. Utica, Feb. 6,1852.

Errata #2

On page 509 there is an error of the printer, regarding the Church Pear; it should be read, "ripens slowly from the 15th of September to the first week in October." Also, the figure of No. 1 should have been called " Huntingdon," and No. 2 is the " Church" Pear, which were reversed. At page 533, we are made to call an Abies a Larch, for the want of the word and after "Abies Kampferi"

Errata #3

The printer has given our readers the benefit of an erratum, which, no doubt, was mentally corrected by readers of page 262, in the last number, where it is recommended to place trees received in a dry or shrivelled condition in a barrel, without a bottom, and fill up with tar or sawdust. Tan was written. These slips are sometimes ludicrous enough; nancy is generally printed, in our first proofs, for nana!

The name of one of the gentlemen who interested himself so successfully in collecting subscriptions for the park, should have been Charles S. Keyser, Esq., instead of C. W. Keyser.

We hail with much pleasure the appearance, under the guidance of Messrs. Siebold and Be Vriese, of the Annales de Horticulture et de Botanique - a new monthly periodical, published at Leyden, and intended to illustrate the more interesting of the cultivated and ornamental plants found in the Dutch possessions in the East Indies, America, and Japan. It is, we presume, the successor of the Tuinbouw Flora, which, being written in Dutch, was a sealed book to most persons in this country. The number before us contains a colored figure of a Tree Peony called "Imperatrice de France".

The last number of the Archives du Museum contains a continuation of Mons. Weddell's careful, learned, and judicious work on Urticacea. The plates are beautiful examples of scientific art, as the treatise itself is an honorable example of systematical science.

Errata #4

In the article on grapes, written by W. T., Germantown, New York, in the last number the following errors occur: 33d line "in cleaning up hedges I frequently have occasion to dig out," should have added ' many an ancient fox grape apparently three score and ten;" and in 34th line, " top roots" should read "tap roots; 37th line "arranged," should read "occasion;" 43d line "badly," should read "boldly".

Errata #5

"Straining" the grapes, as printed in the calendar for October, should read "stemming.'*

Note

The grape crop this year, in the Ohio and Missouri valleys - on all "limestone formation* " - has, like the apple crop, proved almost an entire failure; and from the same cause, "mildew and rot;" not one-fifth of an average yield has been gathered. A very few exceptions are found in particular localities, where tolerably good crops have been produced; and on " sandstone formations," but little injury was sustained, and the yield is fair.

Errata #6

Page 71, for vines read wines, line 6th; for views read vinery, line 27th; for application read appellation, line 33d of Mr. Eaton's communication.

Errata #7

In the letter from Rochester in the last number, 1000 acres is a mistake. Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry's nursery grounds all included, do not reach that amount, which a rather hasty inspection made the writer believe to be the case.

In a late letter from Missouri $1,000 per year should have been the produce of the Concord grape, instead of $100.

Errata #8

We find there are some errors in our last number; the wonder is that there are not more. In Mr. Downing's article, p. 40, second line from bottom, " white" should be "while," to read thus: "The young wood of Carolina is reddish, while the New York Pippin is very dark," etc. On p.-41, in synonyms of Nickajack, "Chaltram" should be Chatham, and "Cheatan" should be Cheataw. In B.'sletter on boilers, p. 53, line 1lth from top, for "I will prove," read "1 could prove," etc. In line 12th from top, for "honest truth," read "known truth." In line 14th from top, we presume after the word " altogether," add, "and we burned nearly double that quantity." These words were not in the MS., but B. considers them necessary, and they would seem to be so.

Errata #9

We have a few more to correct In Dr. Thomson's article, p. 84, line 20 from top, read, "awards of fruit committees," etc., P. 35, line 12 from bottom, read "indite" instead of ' invite,"which makes some difference. P. 36, line 18 from top, read " November, 1855," instead of "1858.* Same page, line 20 from bottom, read "Daniel Warford" instead of "Richard Warford." P. 81, first line of Dr. Grant's article, read "many" instead of " my." P. 88, line 8 from bottom, read, " will not form a lasting union," Ac. We hope now to go on as usual, without the recurrence of such things.

Errata #10

November number, page 338, 7th paragraph, for collection, read collection!. Page 342, Orchards in Grass, etc., should be credited to S. B. Higgins, Baxter, Jasper Co., Iowa.

October number, page 305, for Dueberry, read Dew.

We wish it understood that, being so far from the printing office, we do not have the advantage of reading our own proof.

Errata #11

In April Horticulturist, several errors occurred, which are corrected as follows:

Page 116, fine rose should be fine nosed sprinkler.

Page 127, Pinelum should be Pinetum.
