Bere Court pippin, from seed sown in his garden at Bere Court, near Pangbourne, Berkshire, by the Rev. J. S. Breedon. Cray pippin, from seed in his garden at St. Mary's Cray, Kent, by R. Waring, Esq.

Stoney Royd pippin, from the seed of an American apple, in the garden of Mrs. Rawson of Halifax, in Yorkshire.

Esopus Spitzenberg apple, an American sort requiring the protection of a wall, large, beautiful, and of an exquisite flavour. It is said to have been originated in the neighbourhood of Albany. By George Caswell, Esq. in his garden at Saccombe Park, Hertfordshire.

Claygate pearmain, the produce of a bud taken from a seedling tree, in a hedge-row in the hamlet of Claygate, near Thames Ditton, by John Braddick, Esq. in his garden at Thames Ditton.

Fruit of the ANONA SQUAMOSA, or custard apple, ripened in the stove of Earl Powis, at Walcot Hall, Shropshire. This is believed to be the first instance of this delicate fruit coming to maturity in this country.

65. Description of some New Pears. By Mr. John Turner, F.L.S. Assistant Secretary.

To copy or abridge these descriptions here would be of little use; where they stand they may serve as preparations for that general descriptive catalogue of fruits which it is to be hoped the Horticultural Society will be able to publish at no very distant period.

66. Account and Description of Five new Chinese Chrysanthemums; with some Observations on the Treatment of all the Kinds at present cultivated in England; and on other Circumstances relating to the Varieties generally. By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F.R.S. &c. Secretary. Read April 20. 1824.

This is a long paper chiefly descriptive and historical, but from which we find nothing sufficiently interesting to extract, excepting that most or all of the sorts thrive very well when planted at the base of a south wall, and trained against it. In such a situation they will stand the severity of a winter like that "of 1822-3, which was very trying generally to tender plants, without other protection than mulching their roots. It is desirable that the old roots should remain, and not be replaced by young plants when thus cultivated, because the stronger they are the more branches will be produced, and on the number of these the superiority of their beauty depends."
