The Magazine of horticulture, botany, and all useful discoveries and improvements in rural affairs . having been from thatsource. The Cherry, which wefigured in a previous volume, (XXI., p. 425, ) being one ofthe largest and most showy, though not equal in flavor toother sorts. This variety, whichhas been grown by some of ourcultivators of immense size, andhas been so attractive on thisaccount, is now about to beeclipsed by a new kind, calledLa Versaillaise, of which wegive the annexed drawing, (fig.16, ) made from a cluster se-lected from specimens exhib-ited by Col. Wilder, before theMassachusetts Horticultural So-ciety last month. It is the larg-est currant we have ever seen, measuring little more than twoinches in circumference. Thebest specimens of the Cherrywe have ever measured wouldnot come up to this. The clus-ters are also larger than theCherry, being four to five incheslong, and containing from fifteento eighteen berries.

Other new and desirable varieties of the currant are LaFertile, La Hative, Fertile de Pallua, Fertile dAngers, LaCircassa, &c., and a striped one, called Gloire des Sablons, which is said to be as good as it is beautiful in color. Anotheryear we shall be able to speak more fully of this variety. But all currants, to produce such specimens as we giveengravings of, which are made of the exact size, must bewell grown and we
