Contradicting

If we are not mistaken, we have the counterpart of the following in America: One of Rogers's friends said, that--------was so fond of contradiction, that he would throw up the window in the middle of the night, and contradict the watchman who was calling the hour!

Convallaria, (Solomon's Seal.)

We shall find several species of this genus at this season, but none of them equal the one cultivated, (Lily of the Valley,) which belongs to the south.

These may form our boquet of spring flowers; no less beautiful will be those of summer.

Convention Or Fruit Growers Of Westxrn New York

This body met at the Council Chamber, Buffalo ; about fifty delegates being present. The meeting was called to order by John J. Thomas, of Macedon, Wayne Co., President.

Upon motion of Mr. Barry of Rochester, the following business Committee were appointed : Messrs. Barry of Rochester, Allen and Coppock of Buffalo, Barrit of Lockport and Pinney of Brookport. Committees on Finance and membership were also appointed.

The afternoon session commenced at 3 o'clock, and Mr. Barry from the Committee on business reported that the diseases of fruit trees would be discussed in the following order: 1. Fire blight in pear, apple and quince trees. 2. Leaf blight in same trees. 3. Cracking of fruit 4. Black knot on plums. 5. Mildew on early grapes.

Convolvulus Mauritanicus

The habit of which closely resembles that of our little native wayside convolvulus; the flowers are a charming shade of lilac. It is not a showy plant, but intensely pretty, and a capital relief to garish colors.

Gazania splendens is undoubtedly the best of the Gazanias, and a truly splendid bedder. It will flower well in a poor sandy soil, but it must have a sunny position. The charming contrast between its bluish and half glaucous foliage and its splendid orange flowers is most delightful.

Cooper

Dr. Hempsted said he believed the history of this Apple had not yet been fully stated. The grafts were brought from Boston to Marietta by Mr. Adams, of Zanesville, who called it a French Apple, the original trees having been imported, as he believed, from France. All present who knew the Apple called it first rate; but some gentlemen though it not sufficiently known to warrant its recommendation for general cultivation, especially in the northern part of the State. Recommended with one dissent.

Cooper's Market Apple

The above variety of Apple, it is understood, was introduced here' by Mr. Scbexck, of Brighton, who brought it from New Jersey. It is a beautiful medium sized Apple, tart, when first in eating, but when fully ripe, quite mild and agreeable, during all the month of May. It is one of the most perfect keepers, and our fruit dealers have found a ready sale for it this season. High colored when grown in the sun, and sometimes beautifully mottled. The tree blossoms later by two weeks than other kinds, except the Russet and Northern Spy. It is a desirable Apple for Market, and very properly named so on that account J. H. Watts, Rochester.

With the above note Mr. Watts was kind enough to hand ns some very beautiful specimens of this fruit, as fresh and juicy as we would expect to find them in mid-winter. We have observed them frequently in the baskets of street dealers, late in the spring, competing with the Northern Spy. It deserves more attention.
