Glass Labels

These are now made of glass, for sticking into the soil after having the name of the plant inscribed upon them by means ot a diamond pencil. The dark color of the soil acts as a back-ground, rendering the inscription very legible even at a distance, and the legibility would be still further increased if the back of the glass were painted black. They are made of plate glass three-sixteenths of an inch thick, are six inches long, and one inch and three-eighths wide; but, of course, they can be made of any other size desired. It must be a large stone, and thrown against it with great force, that would break this kind of label; and it has this great merit: it is invisible from a distance, getting rid of the eyesore occasioned by numerous opaque or light-colored tallies. Sixpence per dozen is the English price.

Glass Pipes

C. W. Wever. Glass pipes for conveying water, can, we imagine, be had of Allen & Co., Agricultural Warehouse, N. Y. The cost we do not know.

Globose Scarlet. (Prince)

Quite large, frequenty 1 1/4 inches in diameter; of a bright light color; not - as its name would denote - globose; not so much so as Imperial Scarlet, from the same source; flesh, rather soft; flavor, good; plant, vigorous and very productive.

Hovey's Seedling needs no description; but with me it falls considerably below several others in flavor, productiveness, and average size.

Gloire De Lyon

Rich, velvety, purplish crimson, intensely dark, in the way of Arthur de Sansalles. It is, however, thought to be superior to that excellent variety.

Glout Morceau

Rather late in coming into bearing - otherwise a first-rate market fruit. Tree, as a dwarf, a fine grower and excellent bearer. Fruit large, fair, sound, -and of first-rate quality. Keeps well, and sells as high as the Bartlett or any of the earlier varieties.

Glover's Artificial Fruits

In giving an account of the Fair of the Metropolitan Institute, in Washington, the Genesee Farmer thus speaks of the exhibition of Mr. Glover:

"In the Fruit line, nothing could well exceed in beauty and truthfulness Mr. T. Glover's artificial fruits, of almost every kind grown in the Northern States. His display of pears, apples, plums, cherries, and strawberries, deserves especial commendation. Mr. G. resides at Fishkill, N. Y., and is constantly adding to his collection, which we hope to see purchased and placed in some agricultural museum to which the public may have constant access for study and improvement The insects injurious to fruit trees and fruits, ore true to the life; and the plan is equally applicable to all the larger insects that attack the plants and animals owned by man".

Glover's Models Of Fruits

In these beautiful and useful specimens is shown what a gentleman of taste and leisure can do - partly for the amusement of his leisure hours, and incidentally to furnish such " Imperishable types of of evaneseenee" to all who love to see their favorite fruits in perpetual color and bloom before them. Such specimens should be in the possession of every society who have cognizance of fruits, and Mr. G. is entitled to the lasting gratitude of every nomologist, for his ingenuity and patience in producing them.
