How curious his statement is about the fruit-trees and bees! (362/2.

"Since the importation of bees, European fruit-trees and bushes have produced freely." Travers, "Linn.

Soc.

Journal," IX., page 144.) I wish I knew whether the clover had spread before the bees were introduced...
I saw in the "Gardeners' Chronicle" the sentence about the "Origin" dying in Germany, but did not know it was by Seemann.
