Milne and others, fiom selling Starch in similar packages, : or bearing a similar name to the Glenfield Starch, under the above penalty ! ! •' The Master of the Rolls said there could be ' " but one opinion of the conduct of the Defen- ! ■' dant, which was shrewdly devised to deceive !

The Art of Gkowixg Tukhs moM Cuttings. — Professor Delacroix, of Besancon, in Franco, has discovered a mode of propagating from cuttings, which is not only successful in the case of roses and other plants ea^y to live, but apple?, pears, plums, apricots, &c. Out of a hundred cuttings put out , in June, not one but was thriving in August in the open air, without shade or extra care, except watering a few times after they were planted. Plis method is to put the whole cutting in the ground, bent in the form of a bow, with the centre part up, and just on a level with the surface ; at which point there must be a good bud or shoot, which is the only part exposed to the air ; the other being protected by the earth from drying up, supports and gives vigour to the bud, which starts directly into leaf, and in its turn helps the cutting to form roots, and the whole soou forms a thriving tree. The method of setting them is to form two drills about three inches apart, with a sharp J'idge between,' over which bend the cutting and stick an end y in" each drill, and cover and press tlie earth firmly, and water freely. Cuttings should be of the first year's growth, fresh and vigorous.
