Our neighbor, Mr. Glover, Fishkill Landing, N. Y., who is both an artist of talent, and a zealous amateur of horticulture, has turned his attention, for some three or four years past, to the production of fac-similes of fruits and insects. After a long course of experiments, he has succeeded in making a composition for modelling fruits, which possesses much more of the truthfulness of nature, than the usual wax imitations, together with that durability in which the wax models arc wholly wanting.

Mr. Glover has for some time past been endeavoring to give a practically useful turn to his efforts in this department, by taking casts of all the principal varieties of standard fruits cultivated in this country, with a view to the formation of Pomological Cabinets for Horticultural Societies. As the specimens are cast in moulds made from the very fruits themselves and colored after nature, the most perfect accuracy is, of course, obtained. A society in possession of one of these Pomological Cabinets, would have always at hand an authentic specimen or model of the leading sorts to refer to, when the fruit itself is not in season - thus settling a host of disputes among the members who trust to memory.

The advantages of this will be apparent to every pomologist, and the beauty and appropriateness of the collection would commend it to members of the Society not directly interested in its utility.

Mr. Glover's collection, though now very large, is daily increasing by casts from new varieties, and begins to attract considerable attention. The N. Y. State Agricultural Society, and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, have ordered the Pomological Cabinets from him, and we have no doubt Mr. Glover will find calls made upon him from other quarters, both public and private. Nurserymen having new varieties of merit, not known to their customers, will find a model by Mr. Glover, a great help to verbal description.
