and grapes brought down by Mr. Smith, the gardener of Arthur Keily, Esq., of Ballysaggartmore, deserve particular mention, having been a theme of general admiration for their enormous size and surprising perfection. Among the botanical productions, we noticed a most splendid Yucca gloriòsa, with one thousand blossoms, from the Waterford Nursery; a very fine Yucca filamentosa, from Miss Davis; Amaryllis supérba, with other select plants, from Woodstock; erythrinas, &c., from Curraghmore. The pines, peaches, melons, grapes, &c., were truly splendid, from Curraghmore, Ballysaggartmore, Mount Congreve, &c., with a delightful profusion of georginas, carnations, &c. (Ibid., Aug. 12.)
NOTICE TO THE SECRETARIES OF PROVINCIAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES.- The above notices for the year 1833 are, no doubt, incomplete; partly because we are obliged to go to press early in October, but chiefly because notices of several provincial societies have not been sent us. our February Number, however, we intend to publish a supplement to the present article, in which will be included all the notices sent us between the middle of October and January 1. 1834. As we should wish to render these notices complete, we request the Secretaries of Provincial Societies to look over this article, and the list, on the cover, of papers received, and to supply us with what is wanting. We are most anxious to show to the world how very generally a taste for gardening is diffused over the country. -J. W. L.

DIED, at the Norwich Nursery, on the 4th of September last, Mrs. Sarah Mackie, aged 59 years. This estimable person was the widow of Mr. William Aram Mackie, and for the last sixteen years has conducted the business of this extensive fruit and forest tree nursery, with the design of preserving the trade and its connections for her rising family. In the performance of this arduous task she was singularly active and exemplary, and her exertions have been for many years attended with great success, though her hopes with regard to the succession of her two elder sons were painfully disappointed. Both were cut off just as they entered the period of manhood. The first (Edward Mackie) perished by an accident, while shooting wildfowl at the mouth of the Tees; and the second (George Mackie) fell a victim to the small-pox, after vaccination. Notwithstanding these bereavements, Mrs. Mackie still continued the business with unabated attention for the benefit of her surviving children, until September last, when she was herself removed, after a very short illness. This nursery is an example of the rapid course of modern improvement, for persons only lately dead could remember the whole extent of the ground and a mile beyond it an entire heath, only used as a sheepwalk. Yet this spot, which was taken into cultivation about sixty years ago, has been rendered the centre from which a great part of Norfolk and Suffolk have been supplied with the numerous plantations which have so much improved this district. This change took place through the exertions of Mr. John Mackie, with whom the nursery originated, and from whom it descended, in 1797, to his two sons, William Aram and John Mackie, by whom it was conducted with great spirit and success, until their respective deaths in 1817 and 1818, when it fell into the hands of Mrs. Sarah Mackie, whose death we have now to record. The Norwich Nursery will now be carried on by Mr. Frederick Mackie, the eldest surviving son, who has just added to the former stock the entire collection of succulent plants lately belonging to Mr. Thomas Hitchen of Norwich, which has been highly esteemed for the great rarity and beauty of the plants of which it consists. -J. G. Norwich, Nov. 1. 1833.
