Art. I. On the relative Temperatures of the Earth, under Surfaces covered with a Vegetable Coat, and under Surfaces preserved bare ; with a Table of Observations. By Ropert Mazer, Esq.
‘Tue following table contains the results of a series of morning and evening observations, continued for about a month, in order to determine whether, and how far, the temperature of the earth’s surface is affected, at small depths, by the vegetation which sub- sists upon it. It is uncertain whether the results observed are due merely to differences of radiating and absorbing power, or to some specific consequences of vegetable life.
Two Fahrenheit’s thermometers of considerable delicacy, which had both been previously accurately compared, were placed at about 20 ft. apart, the one beneath a surface covered with a short close coat of turf or grass, and the other under a portion of the soil, the surface of which was preserved bare, the termination of the surface of grass being midway between the two instruments. Both were so arranged, that they could be examined without removal, and without danger of change of temperature during observation.
The thermometer for aerial temperature was hung at about 5 ft. from the ground, in the immediate neighbourhood of the two terrestrial instruments; and it was shaded so as to prevent any effects from sun heat, or from radiation from surrounding bodies, as far as possible.
The table sufficiently explains its own nature. The hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. were chosen, chiefly because they are nearly those of diurnal mean temperature, and partly as a matter of convenience.
It will be observed from the table, that, with two exceptions, viz. on the 10th and 30th of July, the earth beneath the surface of grass was uniformly at a higher temperature than that under a bare surface, or that not covered with vegetation.

A careful examination of the table will present some interest- ing relations between the aerial temperature, the state of the weather, &c., and the temperatures of the surfaces of grass and earth. ‘They are hardly sufficient, however, to enable it to be pronounced with certainty to what cause the difference of tem- perature is to be assigned; whether to some result of the prin-

ciple of vegetable life, altogether distinct from the mere pheno- mena of heat; to chemical or other forces, put in motion by the assimilative powers of the plants; or to the simple effects of’ varying powers of absorption and radiation. To the latter of these conclusions I myself incline; but one most interesting, and, I believe, novel, fact is thus established; namely, that the surface of our earth is considerably affected, as to its temperature, by the vegetation that subsists upon it. Its temperature is proved to be increased. by this covering; and we cannot fail to recognise
in this one of those innumerable and ever wondrous adaptations B 2
4d Relative Temperatures of the Earth.
by which the Author of nature has most fitted our system to the living beings it is destined to support.
It would hardly have been anticipated, that such a difference of temperature should exist in the same soil, within so short 2 distance as little more than 20 ft.; but the effects of radiation and absorption, in some particular instances, are even far more re- markable. Humboldt mentions a granitic sand, which he tra- versed in South America, the temperature of which was, I think, -about 140° Fahrenheit; and I have myself found the temperature of the interior ef a mass of hard turf, or dry peat, exposed on a bog, at mid-day in summer, to reach 117° Fahrenheit. ‘The peat was intermixed with granitic sand.
The soil in which the above observations were made is a fine, good, compact, aluminous garden earth, of a bistre brown colour, which extends. to a depth of 18 ft., lying on a coarse bed of gravel, composed of shingle of the aluminous limestone of the county of Dublin; which reposes on the solid beds of the same stone, the calp of Kirwan, at a depth of 29ft. ‘Fhe temperature of a well of 29 ft. in depth, near the site of these observations, is = 52°6 Fahrenheit, in the present month (August 10. 1835).
The principal object held in view in making this series of observations was, to determine how far it was advantageous, or otherwise, to cover the surfaces of vine and peach borders with a clothing of turf.
The opinion of working gardeners is usually, I believe, unfa- vourable to this, under the impression that the grass makes the soil beneath cold and damp. The table shows that this view is unfounded, and that a great advantage may be expected from the covering, both by increase of temperature, and the preservation of a more equable degree of moisture. The advantage, in point of appearance, of a vine or peach border, clothed with velvety turf, over one bare and brown, is sufficiently obvious. I believe it is admitted, that plants. or erops should never be grown on such borders; but the amount of vegetable nutriment abstracted from the soil by a short turf kept close is exceedingly small : and, where borders are made very rich, they should be covered. with 3 in. of sharp sand, and over that 2 in. of soil, in which the grass might be sown ; thus placing a stop between the grass and the rich earth, in order to prevent the former from becoming rank, and the latter from being deteriorated. Further experi- ments on the subject should be made, to determine the effects of other vegetable surfaces, as mint, thyme, &c., upon temperature ; the variations produced by long and short grass; and also its effects on temperature in winter as well as in summer.
I may mention that a peach border of eighty yards in length, which has been treated in the above way now for three years, produces luxariantly.
Gi
Botany and Entomology necessary to Gardeners.
Arr. IL On the Necessity of the Study of Botany and Entomology to Gardeners. By Josuua Masor, Esq., Landscape-Gardener.
Some time ago I visited a large town, in which a very respect- able Horticultural Society had for some time been established ; and my visit happened to be made at the time the managing committee was sitting to arrange plans for the exhibitions that were shortly after to take place. The chairman of the com-- mittee very kindly invited me to attend, and I was much pleased with the meeting, every thing being pleasantly and properly discussed.
It struck me at the time, that, as the great object of horticul- tural societies is to promote the science of gardening, two most important branches of that science particularly claim the atten- tion ef such societies; viz. botany and entomology; which are so little attended to by gardeners generally, that we might sup- pose they were quite unconnected with the: profession ; while, at the same time, I think it requires no argument to show to the gardener who is ignorant of them, that he is much beneath the point of knowledge which he ought to have attained. Perhaps, when I say botany and entomology ought to be studied as a part of the science of gardening, [ am imposing a task upon some gardeners, which neither their time nor their education will allow them to accomplish; but every gardener who can read and write, without a knowledge of which he has no business to be a gardener, ought at least to inform himself of the names of plants, their native places, the time of their introduction and flowering, and the proper mode of their culture. The same may be said of entomology: although a gardener may fancy himself unable to acquire that science, there is no reason why he should not acquaint himself with the habits of those insects which prove injurious to vegetation generally, in order that he may know the best time and season for their destruction; and of such other insects, and insectivorous birds which Providence has appointed for their extermination, that he may not inad- vertently destroy the insect-destroyer. Certainly, this knowledge will be found to require no small labour; but it is so essential, that, if it is possessed and properly applied, the gardener, in- stead of being disappointed by the loss of a great part of his plants, fruits, and vegetables (which, although, perhaps, not totally destroyed, will at least assume a dirty and crippled ap- pearance), will find them, is most cases, to flourish in health and beauty. Perhaps the young gardener might assist himself, in some degree, by consulting the work which I published, some time ago, on this subject (although it is far from being com- plete); but I fear the price of it is so high, that but few will
BS
6 Gardening Tour through Part of Prussia,
be able to possess it. I have been frequently requested to bring out another edition, at half the price, which would equally an- swer the purpose of the gardener ; and, having only six or eight copies of the first edition left, I may, perhaps, at some future period, be inclined to publish another edition, though it is at present quite out of the question, as my professional engage- ments totally prevent me from doing it. Having only time to give these few hints, I must beg to leave it to the councils of the respective horticultural societies to arrange such plans as they may think most likely to induce the young gardener to in- form himself efficiently on these subjects; and I would just say to him, ‘ Let these two important branches have full share of your attention with the rest of your professional pursuits; col- lect specimens of plants wherever you can; dry them, and fix them in the usual way in your specimen book ; and, if your in- structor should be ignerant of the names of any of them, take every opportunity of asking other gardeners.” I think I need not add that these acquirements will lift a young man much above those gardeners who have repeatedly to confess, on being _asked the names and descriptions of flowers or trees, that they have not paid much attention to plants, having almost exclu- sively applied themselves to forcing and the kitchen-gardening department. A young man, following the study I have pointed out, instead of thus degrading himself, will be daily acquiring the most important knowledge of a part of his profession, which will, at the same time, be most interesting and useful to himself, and of inestimable value to his patrons. Knosthorpe, August 1. 1835.
Art. II]. Notes of a Gardening Tour from Berlin through Part of Prussia, Saxony, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and Italy. By M. Ktauss, in the Gardens of the King of Prussia.
Beror:E I set out on my long journey, I went to the Island of Rugen, and passed through Neustadt, Leckweld, and Stettin. The king’s garden here is not worth mentioning; the king’s garden at Schwedt is of more consequence: the gardener’s name is Kelder. It has a good situation, and contains some fine oaks and limes; and, although it is old-fashioned, it affords the in- habitants an agreeable promenade. ‘The grounds round Stettin are tolerably large; but it is too much crowded, and it is to be wished that an experienced hand would improve it. ‘The garden in Pulbus, on the island, is large. The clumps and winding walks around the palace are well laid out. The few plants which I saw look well; and, as the present prince is fond of gardening, it is hoped it will soon be in good order. The soil of the Island
Saxony, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and Italy. ~ 7
of Rugen is generally loamy ; so that there is a great difference in the vegetation there from that on the Continent. The botanic garden at Greiswald is small: there are few green-house plants, and much improvement is wanted.
After my return, I also made a journey through all Silesia, and found the only garden that was worth mentioning at Cara- late. M. Kleeman, the head gardener, has rendered himself celebrated by applying liquid manure to orange trees, which, when used with prudence, is always successful. ‘The garden is small, but it is situated on a mountain, and has a beautiful view of the village. The orangery, and a tolerably large collection of ericas, are worthy of notice. ;
The promenades round Breslau are beautifully laid out. The small well-formed squares (platze) are not overcrowded with trees and shrubs; amd one garden has a most beautiful view of the Oder. The botanic garden at Breslau (the gardener’s name is Leebig) has, for some years, been much improved: the plants look well, but the collection is not valuable enough to deserve notice. From the situation of the garden, and the abundance of water, it might easily be made very beautiful, if laid out with taste. Professor Nees von Esenbeck is a most suitable person to improve it.
From Breslau I went to Neiss, and to the celebrated Johan- nisberg. The castle and garden lie very high on a mountain, and there is a most delightful view from it. The pine-apple and plum forcing-houses are in a very bad condition; but the orchard’ is somewhat better. From the latter place we went up some small mountains, called Heuscheuer, on which there are high rocks lying on each other; on the top of which I found the fol- lowing plants, which had been planted there: — Daphne Me- zéreum, Acer platanoides, Lonicera, Fraxinus, and Bétula, which looked well. Not far from there lies the celebrated Cidova, which is a better bathing-place than those mentioned in p. 9. There is a good garden here, but it might be improved. In Silesia there are very few gardens : there are some at Furstenstein, Attwasser, &c., to which nature has done more than art.
Not far from Schmiedeberg lies the village of Fischbals, which belongs to Prince William of Prussia. The castle is surrounded by a garden, which is charmingly situated, and which might be made the most beautiful in all Silesia. At Logarl is M. Pfen- ning’s celebrated nursery: the trees and shrubs are all in good order. .
The love of gardening increases every day more and more in Silesia, particularly in Upper Silesia. As soon as the people know the easiest and cheapest way to set about improving their
gardens, they will do so, as the love of gardening is already B 4
8 Gardening Tour through Part of Prussia,
excited in their minds, and they only want the power to carry their wishes into effect.
On the frontiers of Silesia, not many miles from Dresden, stands Muskau. ‘This garden is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany ; and its well-placed single trees, its fine vistas, and its beautifully laid out walks, show that it has been planned by a clever man. Among the single trees, the most remarkable are some tulip trees, and some fine beeches. The river which runs through the garden, however, sometimes over- flows its banks; and it is much to be lamented that there is no good view from the garden, as it would make it much more interesting.
Next I went, by Torgau, to Oranienbaum, where the garden is partly in the French, or geometric, style, and partly in the English, or natural, manner. It is very interesting to see espaliers formed of cypress, and the avenues of young oaks, which are very beautiful. I also saw there the large orangeries which have rendered M. Klevitz, the gardener, so celebrated. Four miles farther lies the celebrated Worlitz, which is remarkable for its castle and garden. ‘The garden is large, and the Elbe runs through part of it, and forms an island; but, in my opinion, there are too many ornamental buildings in it (although some of them are very remarkable); and they, with the badly laid out walks, and ill-formed groups of trees, materially lessen the beauty of the scene. The trees are, however, very interesting. ‘There are some fine specimens of Quércus coccinea, Liriodéndron Tulipifera, Salisburza adiantifolia, and Liquidambar Styraci- flua, &c.
There are, on the beautiful road from Worlitz to Dresden, the most remarkable oaks that ever were seen. Not far from the city lies the park of Louisiana, which is much neglected. The water near the castle looks very well. I found here a beautiful collection of pelargoniums, roses, and auriculas. The George Garden is two miles from Dresden; it is larger, but in a much wilder state. It is a pity that more attention is not paid to this garden, as it might be made one of the first in the country; and it is not the fault of the gardener, but of the duke.
From Dresden I went to Halle, where the university garden is; and, although it is small, it is well worthy of notice.
Amongst the gardens at Dresden I may mention that of Lieutenant Weber, which has particularly fine green-house plants and shrubs; where the gardener, M. Sidel, has enormously large fig trees, which stand out in the open air, and only require a slight covering in winter. It is well known that these trees are 200 years old. ‘The king’s large garden here (gardener’s name, M. Therscheck) has a few pretty spots, but it is now much neg- lected. The fruit nursery only is particularly worthy of notice.
Saxony, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and Itaiy. 9
The garden under the direction of M. Lehman is valuable on account of its vegetables.
From Dresden I went to Leipsig, where the parks round the city are particularly tastefully laid out: the part near the water is also very well planned. Amongst the nurserymen, M. Breiten deserves particular notice; he hasa valuable collection of cactuses ; and, as he spares no trouble to get the newest sorts, it is expected that he will soon have the largest collection in Germany. In the plantations at Thavant there are some very pretty shrubs, but they are far from being what they should be.
From Leipsig I went to Tetshe, where there is a very fine garden ; it belongs to Count Thun of Hohenstein. His pine- apples and forced kidneybeans were particularly remarkable. Hence I now travelled over the mountainous country of Swiss Saxony, and arrived at Toplitz, a bathing-place, which has a very beautiful garden: it cannot be called badly laid out, but it might, by a practical man, be much improved. This garden has a very good collection of trees and shrubs, and the situation is extremely fine.
I then went to Carlsbad, Eger, and Marienbad. The public walks and gardens of these bathing-places are not remarkable. Near Marienberg lies the country seat of Prince Metternich : it has a very large garden, quite new, which is situated on a hill, and has a fine view. One of the most important gardens at Prague is that of Prince Kinsky. ‘This garden is situated on an artificial hill, which must have cost an immense sum of money : the garden is not so good as might be expected. Count Salm has the best collection of green-house plants in Germany, and the best method of propagating ericas, epacris, &Xc.
I went trom Vienna to Bruck on the Leytha, where I was astonished to see such a beautiful garden; and it is the only one I have seen which is perfect in every part. It is very unfer- tunately situated, and the gardener has had a great many difi- culties to overcome. Its situation is not only bad with respect to prospect, but the river Leytha, which runs through it, overflows its banks every summer. I found in this garden some most magnificent North American trees and shrubs, the remarkably vigorous growth of which was probably owing to the loamy de- posit (6 in. or 9 in. deep) which the water leaves every year. I also saw the Neléimbium speciosum in such quantities as to be thought of little value; M. Wancke having, for a long time, bestowed so much care on these plants, that every seedling flowers once in two years.
From Bruck I went, by Presburg and Raab, to Pesth and Buda; but I had not time to see the gardens there. On my road I passed by Eisenstadt, and found a garden which has par- ticularly good green-house plants. From the large specimens I
10 Gardening Tour through Part of Prussia,
saw there of the newest plants, I judged they must have been purchased when very rare. The part round the castle is well laid out, and it is only a pity that enough money is not spent to keep it in order. .
On my return to Vienna, I went to Salzburg, a city with a beautiful view; which there is also all the way from Vienna to Salzburg. There are four gardens in Salzburg, not worth mentioning. ‘The most remarkable gardens in Germany are those at Munich, laid out by M. Sckell. The garden at In- spruck, under M. Eshenlohr, is not in good order, and very little money is spent on it. In this place I found a great number of the Pinus Cémbra, the fruit of which is commonly eaten.
In Trieste, the garden of Capaletti is the most remarkable : it is not large, but has very good plants, particularly Cacteze. There is also a magnificent collection of orange trees in the open air ; and the Hibiscus syriacus, trained as an espalier, which is com- mon all over Italy, is here particularly fine. In Romano are seen very magnificent cypresses, uncommonly large, and cut in the form of a pyramid.
On the way to Venice are seen plants of Céltis, Cércis, Rhis Cotinus, &c., by the road-side. Here is the celebrated Lago di Garda, on the banks of which are planted beautiful lemon trees, and, immediately behind them, olive trees. The Giardino Giusti is only remarkable for its fine views: it is laid out in the old-fashioned style, as most of the gardens are in the upper part of Italy. The box trees, trained as espaliers, are very remark- able. On the way to Padua are seen many olive trees, bignonias, Salix babylonica, but more particularly the Morus alba, round the stems of which the vines grow of an enormous size. ‘The botanic garden in Padua is remarkable for its specimens, in the open air, of Magnolza grandiflora, of an enormous size; Quércus Tlex, Quércus coccinea; Crategus Oxyacantha, monégyna, and Cris-galli salicifolia ; Bignonza, Kolreutérza, Vib’rnum cassz- noides, Tamarix, Sterctlia, Cércis, &c. ‘The reses, trained as espaliers on the walls, and almost covering the houses, are well worthy of a stranger’s notice.
The promenade round Milan is very extensive, and contains remarkably fine trees of Liriodendron, Sophora, Platanus, &c. On both sides of the promenade are beautiful trees, trained as espaliers.
On the road to Pavia the rice fields are very remarkable. These fields are entirely under water, which is supplied from the canals on both sides of the road.
Among the numerous gardens at Monza, the government garden is certainly the most remarkable. The gardener’s name is Rossi. Itis more like a nursery than a garden. He has immense quantities of beautiful deciduous cypresses, partly in
Saxony, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and Itay. 11
groups, some of them, by the aid of art, stand in the water. There are some particularly large liriodendrons, Magnolia tri- pétala, and grandiflora, and also a great collection of roses. The garden of the Villa Reale (the gardener’s name is Casemetti) is tolerably large: it is rich in plants and beautiful shrubs. There are some fine specimens of Magnolza macrophylla, Fagus sanguinea, 4’sculus rubra, Populus caroliniana, and a large collection of camellias, pines, and roses. There is also a very large collection of oranges. ‘The pine-apples are pretty large; and yet the plants do not look particularly well. The English garden is very large, and has a few pretty scenes in it near the castle. Not far from Como begins an avenue of Lirio- déndron and Fraxinus, in which are some very good specimens. Among the beautiful villas which lie on the Lake of Como is, particularly, the villa of Somma Riva, with a very excellent gar- den, more especially near the castle. Here are seen groups of myrtle, Latirus nébilis, Magnolia, Citrus, and particularly Cl- trus salicifolia ; also plants of the citrus family, and roses trained as espaliers. On the Lago Maggiore are two small islands, on which grow the following plants in the open air: — Agave, F'i- cus, CApparis, Erythrina, Casuarina, Zatrus, Leptospérmum, Erica, Sophora, Hibiscus, Mimosa, Metrosidéros, Rhododén- dron, Bonapartea, Prinus, Magndlza, Taxus, Corylus purpu- rea, &c. Besides these there are also a few espaliers of the citrus. The garden has beautiful views over the lake, the towns, and villages. Although the Isola Bella has also very beautiful plants, it is more remarkable for the various castles, grottoes, and caverns in its celebrated garden.
The nursery at Lausanne, belonging to M. Barrand, has a very fine collection of plants, and he is particularly celebrated there for his pelargoniums. ‘The gardens at Lausanne contain nothing particular. In general, the gardens in Switzerland are not much known. Messrs. Baumann’s nursery, at Bollwyller, makes an impression which one seldom feels. Fruit trees, and other trees, were in the best order. The collections of pears, apples, Z’sculus, Fraxinus, roses, Ahododéndron, Azalea, Kalmia, Tilia, Quércus, Juglans, Carya, Caméll¢a, and Erica are, one may with truth say, better than any other that can be seen in Germany. M. Hadel’s nursery contains a particularly good collection of North American shrubs. The garden at Schwetzingen is tolerably large, but does not form a whole, as it is partly in the old French, and partly in the English, style, which do not harmonise. ‘The view from the castle is exceed- ingly beautiful. ‘The arrangement of trees round the water is, on the whole, very good. :
The botanic garden in Heidelberg is only just beginning. The agricultural garden, which is near it, is beautifully situated :

it is expected that it will be carried on with much eagerness, and that both gardens will, in time, become celebrated. ‘The court garden is remarkable for its beautiful views ; it has also one very fine specimen of Thuja occidentalis. ‘The garden at Manheim, under M. Stihler, has some very well laid out scenes, and some very good clumps of shrubs. This garden has not enough water, and very fine views, but better ones might easily be made. Darmstadt has a great deal of garden ground round it. The garden of M. Schnitzboor is one of the largest; but the paths are not well laid out: the clumps are bad, and the ground dirty. The view is not worth mentioning: the part round the water is the best. The garden under M. Noar has particularly fine dahlias, and especially very fine annuals; its vegetables are also worthy of remark. One of the most beautiful gardens is that on the road to Rosenhohe, under tthe direction of M. Guyer. The part round the castle, and that on the hill, are very well laid out. ‘The views, paths, and grouping are in good taste. ‘The gardens round Frankfort are worthy of notice. | M. Rinz’s nursery is only just begun ; but he has a good collection of fruit trees, and barren trees and shrubs. ‘There is also a good collection of camellias, rhodo- dendrons, kalmias, ericas, and azaleas. His green-house plants look extremely well. Baron Rothschild’s garden is tolerably large, but his trees only are worthy of notice. He has a fine specimen of Araucdria [Altingia] excélsa. The churchyard of Frankfort is very striking, and resembles an English garden. .The botanic garden has nothing remarkable. The garden at Mayence is pretty large, and has beautiful views ; but the choice of shrubs, and the grouping of them, require much improvement. ‘The botanic garden at Bon is one of the best gardens in Prussia. Not far from Cologne lies a new gar- den, with a nursery near it: it is laid out with much taste. The garden at Dusseldorf is poor in plants, and those few are in bad condition. Some parts are worth notice; but that round the water wants improving, and also the form of the water. The walks are laid out well; and it is evident that the designer was an experienced man. Not far from this lies the garden of Salm Dyck, which is so celebrated for its cactuses, mesem- bryanthemums, &c. The garden is very bad; but it is not the gardener’s fault, as the princess laid it out. Alten has no good gardens; the walk round the town is only remarkable.
Want of time prevents me from writing further particulars, and this is the reason that I have written in such a hurry. When I get home I shall make a full description of all I have seen, and send it to you.
Public Garden for a Corporate Town. 13
Art. IV. Design for a Public Garden, made for an English Corpo- rate Town ; with a List of the Trees and Shrubs to be planted in it, and their Prices. By the ConpucTor.
Tue plan which we are about to describe may be very fitly con- sidered as an illustration, as far as it goes, of the article Vol. XL., p- 644. In it we have attempted to show how much may be made of a piece of ground not much exceeding three acres, and very unfavourably circumstanced, at the least expense. We were employed to give the design by a committee of management, and our instructions were, simply, to make the most of the ground at the least expense. The following remarks are what we delivered to the committee on the 24th of October last; and the plan has since, in great part, been carried into execution.
The piece of ground to be laid out being of limited extent, and having a distant prospect only on one side, viz. that next the river, the object, in contriving the plan, has been to create interest within the area. This has been attempted by increasing the inequalities in the surface ; by producing the greatest length of walk which the space admits of; by varying the views along that walk ; by concealing the boundary everywhere except on the river side and at the principal entrance; and, above all, by plant- ing the most extensive collection of trees and shrubs which, it is believed, has been hitherto planted in any public garden, not avowedly botanical.
The plan (fig. 1.) which occupies p. 14. and p. 15., is explained at the bottom of those pages. ‘There is one walk, viz. that to the right on entering from the terrace, which makes the complete circuit of the garden; and another, to the left, which goes, by a more direct course, partly through a tunnel, to the proposed esplanade. This tunnel, which is about 60 ft. in length, it is pro- posed, may be either made winding, and lighted by circular funnels of about 1 ft. in diameter, and at about 10 ft. apart, terminating in iron gratings; or it may be made straight, in which case, it will be sufficiently light without any funnels. The object of making the tunnel in a winding direction is, to prevent persons who may be passing through it from ascertaining its extent at a single glance, and thus perceiving the narrowness of the garden; but this result, even if the tunnel is made straight, may be in a great degree prevented by the winding of the walk, and planted banks at each end of the tunnel; by which means the boundary of the garden will not be seen from whichever end the spectator enters. The great object, in a limited space, is to vary the interior ; from every point of view to conceal the bounds; and, by a great length of walk, no part of which is ever seen at one time but the part walked on, to increase the apparent extent in the highest degree. Where these walks approach the boundary, the trees and shrubs

16 Public Garden for a Corporate Town,
indicated in the list to be planted in such situations are chiefly evergreens, in order completely to screen;the fence; and, for the same important end of disguising the apparent extent, no en- trances must be made to the garden in addition to the two indi- cated. If we imagine four entrances to this garden, at the four angles, or in the centre of the four sides, instead of two in the centre of two opposite sides, the seclusion of the interior will be destroyed, and one main intention of the design completely de- feated.
The walks are so arranged, the surface of the ground so formed, and the evergreen trees so disposed, that a spectator walking on any one of the walks will, in very few cases, be able to see the other walks, as the section of the ground will show. If the ground cannot be raised to the height indicated in the sec- tions, nearly the same: effect will be produced, in the course of a few years, by the growth of the trees and shrubs.
In the execution of the plan, the first step is to mark out the tunnel walk, and to form a drain in the bottom of it, commencing at the entrance to the garden at a, and continuing it at least as far as g; the tunnel should then be built, because, till this is done, the ground over, and on each side of it, cannot be prepared for planting. A drain should also be formed from the point a, along the bottom of the walk, and through the boundary, to the point b. Adrain will also require to be formed from the point c in the walk, all along its bottom, to b; and also from the point c, along the bottom of the walk, and through the boundary, to the point d: from this point a drain will require to be conducted, along the bottom of the walk, to e; from e, along the bottom of the walk, to f; and also from g and bto f Other drains, necessary to effect the complete drainage of the walks, will readily occur to the foreman who will be sent to superintend the execution of the work. Nothing conduces more to the comfort of a public gar- den than having the walks at all times fine and dry ; and, where these walks are 10 ft. broad, as they are here in the broadest parts, such a result cannot be accomplished satisfactorily without a drain along the bottom of each walk, with gratings at the sides of the walk, communicating with the drain at regular distances.
None of these drains, however, will require to be formed, till after the planting is completed, except the tunnel drain from a to g, and the upper drain from a to 6.
These drains being-made, and the tunnel built, the ground may be formed agreeably to the sections; after which, all that portion of it intended to be planted, must be trenched to the depth of 4 ft. at least; and, where the soil is bad, it must be taken out, and replaced by good soil. The soil from such portions of the
round as are to be covered with grass, where it is good, may be used for this purpose, and the bad soil substituted for it, as it
with a Priced List of the Trees and Shrubs. east
will answer equally well, and even better, for the grass. The soil from the bottoms of the walks, when good, can also be used for the part to be planted.
The trees and shrubs which will be required are indicated in the following lists ; and they are all such as may be purchased in the London nurseries at moderate prices, and all of the most or- namental kinds, not one being admitted which is a mere timber tree or fruit tree, or which is purely of botanical interest.
The first list (I.) consists of evergreens; and they are distributed over the whole garden in such a manner as to prevent the eyes of the persons on the walks, both in summer and winter, from seeing more than a certain portion of the ground at one time. At the east and west ends of the ground there are rows of evergreens and semi-evergreens of comparatively tall growth, for the purpose of shutting out the houses of the town. All the other trees are of low growth ; and, with two or three exceptions, de not ordinarily exceed the height of from 12 ft. to 20 ft.
The next list (II.) is of deciduous or flowering trees, and tall shrubs, with some evergreens, all about the same height as those in List I. These are to be distributed over the ground as indi- cated in the plan by the numbers preceding the names.
The next list (III.) is of deciduous flowering shrubs, and some evergreens, the distribution of which may be left to the planter, with this single direction, that the species of each genus must be kept adjoining each other.
The succeeding list (IV.) is of climbing, creeping, and trailing plants. These it is proposed to plant along an arcade of trellis- work, which should be commenced at each entrance of the tun- nel, and carried on to the length of 50 ft., at each end, over the walk. The trellis-work, where it terminates, should be quite light and open, and, in short, little more than arches of iron wire, crossing the road at about 6 ft. apart. This distance between the arches should gradually diminish, till, at the mouth of the tunnel, the last arch should not be more than 3 ft. from the one preceding it. Each arch should consist of three iron wires; each of about half an inch in diameter, joined together by horizontal pieces, and their lower ends leaded into blocks of stone. Along the summit of the arches, one rod may connect the whole; but there ought to be no connexion along the sides, or at the bottom. The same rod may be continued along close, under the roof of the tunnel for hanging coloured lamps on, upon extraordinary occasions, so as to illuminate both the tunnel and the arcade.
It is very desirable to form an arcade of this sort as an ap- proach to a tunnel; because, to a stranger, and in the summer time more especially, the transition from the glow of a mid- day sun to the gloom of the tunnel would be too sudden. At the same time, the tunnel will be only comparatively dark, as it
Vou. XII.— No. 70. c
18 Public Garden for a Corporate .Town,
will be quite sufficiently lighted for walking in, even if not straight, by the funnels and gratings before mentioned ; which may be made only 6 ft. apart, if 10 ft. should be thought too far distant. If, as the trees and shrubs grow up, they should be found to obscure the gratings, the funnels for them can be carried up higher than the shrubs ; and any funnels that are thought too con- spicuous may be terminated with elegant vases, through which the light is admitted: and whether these funnels are carried up 10 ft. or 50 ft., will make no sensible difference in the quantity of perpendicular light which will pass through them to the tun- nel below. The necessity of building funnels, however, may be altogether avoided, by having the tunnel made straight.
The next list (V.) is of select trees and shrubs, to be scattered on the turf; but, as this cannot be done till the ground is pro- perly consolidated, which it will require at least a year to effect, their places are not indicated in the plan, lest it should create confusion.
The last list (VI.) is of plants which are of low growth, and are either ornamental evergreens, deciduous shrubs with showy flowers, or shrubs with highly fragrant flowers. Any blanks which remain in the masses, after all the other trees and shrubs are planted (and there will not be many), may be filled up with the species enumerated in this list, which are so beautiful, that, even if there were a dozen or two of each in the garden, there would not be too many.
Nothing is proposed to be planted on the green bank (Z 2) between the upper and lower terraces, because the large elm trees already there, as well as the steepness of the slope of the bank, will effectually prevent any ordinary shrub from thriving. If it is absolutely required to have something like an evergreen fence, an open wooden railing is recommended, which may be thickly covered with ivy, the soil being first properly prepared, and the plants abundantly supplied with water during the sum- mer season, for the first two or three years.
The kind of fences to be used in enclosing the garden, the projection of the quay into the river, and the details of the pro- posed esplanade, with the seats at each end, are not here entered into; neither is any design given for a fountain, nor for rock- work, nor any other architectural object in the situations indi- cated. The entrances to the tunnel may be finished in a rustic style, and rock plants inserted in the crevices.
The walks commence at the gate opening into the lower ter- race, and also at the steps descending from the esplanade, with a width of 10 ft.; and, after being continued at that width for a distance of 80 or 100 yards, they are gradually diminished till, directly over the tunnel, the width is only 8 ft. The tunnel walk is only 6 ft. wide under the tunnel; but it gradually widens to
with a Priced List of the Trees and Shrubs. 19
10 ft. as it advances to the other walks. These details the plan and the scale will show. The object in narrowing the walks in this manner is, to aid the perspective on entering and proceeding along the walk from each gate, and thus, in a small degree, to add to the apparent extent of the whole.
It is recommended that all the trees and shrubs shall be pro- cured of small size, as being much less likely to die, in conse- quence of removal toa bleak situation, and as more likely to grow rapidly in well-prepared soil. Instead of bestowing more expense than usual in purchasing large plants, it is recommended rather to give extra preparation to the soil, and even to add to it manure. The mass of rhododendrons and azaleas will require peat soil, as will a few of the other trees and shrubs; and the beds of roses will require rich mould.
The double and Chinese roses are recommended to be planted in groups by themselves, and also the herbaceous flowering plants; and on no account whatever are either double roses, or herba- ceous flowers, to be planted among the shrubs. In the two com- partments where fountains or other ornaments may be placed, flowers may be planted for the first year or two; and, after the esplanade is finished, perhaps some more groups of flowers may be formed on the turf near it; and, probably, the sloping border (kk) may be entirely devoted to flowers. On each side of the esplanade may be a parapet, with piers at regular distances, sur- mounted by vases, and in these vases mignonette may be kept all the season, which would diffuse an agreeable odour in every direction.
It is recommended that, in purchasing the trees and shrubs, it be made a condition with the nurserymen from whom they are procured, that they should name one plant of each kind with a zine label written on with prepared ink, and fastened to the plant with metallic wire. By these means the names of the plants will remain attached to them, and unobliterated, for two or three years; and in the meantime, as likely to give a great botanical interest to the garden, it is recommended that one plant of each kind should be named, with a large conspicuous label, placed suffi- ciently near the walk for any person to read it without moving off the gravel. These labels may be formed of zinc, or thin board painted white, from 2 in. to 3 in. broad, and from 3 in. to 4 in. long, and fixed to the end of wooden rods. For shrubs close by the turf verge, these rods need not be above a foot in height; but when a tree is to be named which stands back from the walk, and has low shrubs in front of it, the rod should be of such a length as that the label may overtop the shrubs. On each label should be painted the scientific and English names of the plant, its native country, and the year of its introduction into Britain.
This naming of the trees will, it is conceived, very greatly add c 2
20 Public Garden for a Corporate Town,
to the attractions of the garden, more especially as a place of resort for young persons, and consequently increase its value to the town.
In the management of this garden, the ground in which the masses are planted will only require to be kept clear of weeds, and covered with the short grass which is mown from the glades. As the trees and shrubs advance in growth, the duplicates will require to be removed ; and, after this, both trees and shrubs must be prevented from touching each other by pruning. While this is attended to, care must be taken that, in all the masses near the boundary fence, both trees and shrubs be allowed to grow as close to each other as they can, without coming into absolute con- tact. The masses of roses will require to be taken up and pro- perly replanted in fresh soil every three or four years, and the masses of flowers, which may be chiefly hardy showy annuals of low growth, or entirely mignonette, will also require the soil to be occasionally renewed. It must be constantly borne in mind by the managers of this garden, that a border or plantation of trees and shrubs which are never allowed to touch, but which are, at the same time, placed as close together as they possibly can be without touching, produces a much more effectual screen than a thick plantation. In a thin plantation, such as we allude to, there is a compact mass of foliage on every tree and shrub, from the ground upwards; and, if there are only two rows of such trees and shrubs, the plants of the one row alternating with the openings of the other, the screen will be as effectual as if it consisted of a holly hedge. If this mode of keeping up a screen, both in the boundary plantations and in the masses which sepa- rate the walks, be neglected, the effect of the garden will very soon be materially injured, and the plantations, so far from hav- ing that gardenesque character which they are intended to have, will resemble mere commonplace masses of shrubbery; the boundary will be seen from every point of view; the eye will penetrate the interior in all directions; and the effect of the whole, as a work of art, will be destroyed.

The prices in the above list are for plants of the smallest size, and for ready money. The manner in which they were procured was, by first sending the list to one nurseryman, and asking him to fill in the column of prices for all those species of which he had actually plants in his grounds. All those prices to which no mark is prefixed were thus obtained. The list was next sent to another nurseryman, who filled in those preceded by a dagger (t+); and the remaining prices, distinguished by a star (*), were filled in by ourselves, from a knowledge of the gardens where they are to be procured at those prices.
Art. V._ Description of Woodbine Cottage, Torquay, the Residence of Mrs. Johnes. By Mr. Joun Guuver, Gardener there.
TuE extent of the grounds of this much admired and most romantic place is about seven acres, on a declivity towards the
the Residence of Mrs. Johnes. DF
south-south-west; and, twelve years since, it was what we call in Devonshire a furze brake ; or it might, perhaps, be more pro- perly called a furze down, with a great part of it a barren rock. In the year 1823, Mrs. Johnes took a fancy to build and plant ; and the cottage she has erected is certainly the prettiest thing I have ever seen. From the drawingroom, at the east end, we enter a pretty conservatory, 40 ft. long by 15 ft. wide, full of choice creepers, with canted glasses, reflecting the whole three ways. From this we proceed to the flower-garden, in front of the house, which is 60 yards by 30 yards, with a fountain in front of the drawingroom window, and laid out in beds of dif- ferent forms. Here are all the species of magnolia, which do well; rhododendrons, which make no great growth, but flower profusely ; myrtles, geraniums, camellias, Pitt6sporum Tobzra, Clethra arborea, Yzcca aloifolia, now coming in bloom; and Agave americana; all of which do well in the open air, without protection. Salvias, except S. spléndens, are also all found quite hardy perennials; and in some seasons they become quite hardy shrubs, not being injured with the frost. The Cinnamomum Camphora, against the wall, is quite hardy ; the 2zbes sanguineum, as a dwarf shrub, standing on the grass plot, fruits to great per- fection, producing bunches of beautiful blue fruit, 5in. long. From the flower-garden we ascend the grounds by winding walks, almost forming a labyrinth: in one of those walks I have a vinery, which answers also as a green-house, formed in a lime- stone quarry; which, with the natural rock, and other kinds of rock that I have introduced, completes a rock house, in which are plunged my plants. In this house the Psidium Cattleyanum fruits to perfection without fire heat; the situation being so fa- vourable, that I have had no occasion to light a fire but once for five years, and then only for a few hours, to air the flue. My oranges in this house, I think, are as fine as you ever saw. You may think I boast by saying this; but, should you visit Devon- shire at any time, I should be very proud to show them to you. Here I have the cactus tribe in great perfection, suspended from the roof by wire; being of a decided opinion it is much to their advantage, and it also keeps them from those enemies the snail and slug. From this green-house we ascend, by winding walks, to a grass terrace, from which we have the most beautiful picturesque views in nature. At our feet, as it were, we have Torbay, the finest of the kind in the kingdom ; on the opposite side is a fine landscape of hill and dale, woods and _ villages. In the back-ground, fifteen miles distant, is the famous High Tor, and its neighbouring hills of Dartmoor, forming a most beautiful evening scene. At one end of this terrace I have a small garden in the French style, the beds of which are edged with sheep’s trotters, which gives it a neat appearance. In this place I have a moss house, paved with sheep’s trotters in various

devices, initials, date of year, &c.; and a table in the middle, covered with fir cones, and edged with the same. Here I have displayed my winter evenings’ amusements, all kinds of figures, from the elephant down to the little mouse, made of fir cones, the produce of my own growth and labour. Imagine to your- self a Highland shepherd, with lambs in his bosom, and a shep- herdess with her pet lamb, with a flock surrounding them, frightened, as it were, with a fox and hounds in full chase. In another part I have imitated a farm-yard, where the maid is milking her cows, and an old woman feeding her geese; the geese, as well as the old woman, appearing quite frightened: for here the fox is run up, and the huntsman is seen winding his horn. In another part is a Devonshire plough, drawn by four oxen, with a man driving, &c.; all made of the same material. Suspended from the roof, by way of lamp, is the emblem of peace, a dove with the olive branch in its mouth, surrounded by a flock of canaries, suspended, also, from the roof. By means of vistas cut through the trees, we see, from the moss house, the entrance to Torbay from the Channel, Berry Head, &c.
From this we turn into another terrace, 300 yards long, with borders of dahlias and other flowers on each side, leading to a grass-plot of three quarters of an acre, with beds for roses, cis- tuses, helianthemums, stocks, and various other things. Here we are fenced in with a wrought-iron paling, 700 ft. long, allow- ing a public path on the outside, which is a great accommodation to the inhabitants of Torquay. Here, also, is situated my little cottage, commanding a beautiful view of the bay, and also of the Channel, the envy of all who see it. A few paces from this, on the top of the hill, we have a panoramic view of the country and Channel to a great extent, including many of the Dartmoor hills, reaching, as it were, to the clouds.
Art. VI. A List of the Places in Great Britain and Ireland from which Return Papers have been received for the ARBorETUM Brt- TANNICUM, up to the 21st of November, 1835. By the ConpucTor.
NorwitHsTanpING the immense number of Return Papers (that is, of skeleton lists of trees on four folio pages, headed as shown in X. 582.) which we have sent out in all directions, we have as yet received papers back from those places only the names of which are enumerated in the following list. We publish this list in order that, by making known the places from which we have received returns, those proprietors or gardeners from whom we have not received them, but who are friendly to our undertaking, may still have an opportunity of sending. Some, also, who have sent lists themselves, or who have not any trees that they think worthy of notice, may yet discover that a
have been received for the * Arboretum Britannicum.” 29
number of places celebrated for their trees are omitted. We should be greatly obliged to such persons if they would write to the gardener at such places on our behalf; or inform us of the name of the place, and that of its proprietor or gardener, in order that we may send Return Papers thither ourselves.
Our readers will bear in mind, that we wish to know the height, and number of years planted, of all foreign trees whatever that have been more than ten years standing in any one place; and the height, and circumference of the trunk, at a foot from the ground, of all indigenous trees in any way remarkable for their age, height, breadth, or rapidity of growth.
It would be of great use to us to know the height and girt, at a foot from the ground, of the largest cak, ash, elm, sycamore, &c., in the grounds or park of every country seat throughout Great Britain and Ireland; with the kind of soil and subsoil on which the trees stand; their exposure, and their probable age. Surely, it cannot give much trouble to any gardener or forester to send us this information. The height may be taken by a practical man, with sufficient accuracy for our purpose, by the eye; and the circumference of the trunk at a foot from the ground, by passing a string round it, and sending us the length of the string; or if this be too much trouble, the diameter of the trunk may be estimated by the eye, as well as the height of the tree.
As we find that we shall be able, by publishing double numbers, to finish the Arboretum on the 1st of June next, whatever in- formation may be sent to us (and we shall be glad of hints on propagation, culture, uses, the formation of plantations, fences, &c., because our object is to produce a complete Encyclopedia of Arboriculture) should be received by the 1st of March. In the Gard. Mag. for April a supplementary list to this now given will be published ; and, when the Arboretum, or rather Encyclopedia, is finished, both lists will be incorporated into one, and the name of the proprietor, and (where it is known) that also of the gar- dener or forester who prepared the list, will be added, and the whole published, in a tabular form, in that work.
We may take this opportunity of mentioning that, through the kindness of a wealthy and distinguished individual, who volun- teered to have a number of full-grown trees drawn for us at his own expense, we are enabled to render the work far more com- plete than we at first contemplated ; by giving, in addition to the portraits of trees of ten years’ growth, to the scale of a quarter of an inch to a foot, portraits of full-grown trees of one or more species of all the principal genera. ‘These full-grown trees are drawn to a scale of a quarter of an inch to 3ft.; and, as a spe- cimen of them we give Pavia flava. ( fig. 2.) Hig. 3. is a tree of ten years’ growth, of the mountain ash (S6rbus aucuparia), to a scale of a quarter of an inch to a foot.

New Modes of Mushroom Culture. 35
Art. VII. New Mode of growing Mushrooms. By W.
Nor having seen in your Magazine so easy a method to grow mushrooms, for catchup and other purposes, as I have practised for several years, at little or no expense, I take the liberty to send you the following sketch of my plan. The only expense is at the commencement, as it may then be necessary to get a few bricks of the best mushroom spawn: afterwards, enough may be saved every year from the dung, &c.
My plan is this. About the middle of July, when preparing the ground for early broccoli or Savoy, I have some of the best fresh horse dung, that is short, and has not much straw in it, dug in the furrow, under the soil where the row of broccoli or Savoy plants are to be planted. The furrow is filled pretty full of the dung, and trodden rather firm, and a few pieces of the spawn are put in it; the mould is then dug over it, and the digging is con- tinued, until where the next row of plants is intended; which furrow is filled with dung and spawn as the former; and so on, as far as the ground is to be planted. After the ground is dug, the plants are planted, and nothing further is required. I do not use any more dung in this way than would be required for the same quantity of ground if spread regularly over it in the usual way; and the plants grow more vigorously by having the dung under them. I consider that the broccoli or Savoy plants are of great service to the working of the spawn, by shading it from the hot sun and heavy rains.
About the middle of September, the mushrooms come up in great quantities, large and fine. I have this morning (Sept. 21.) gathered nearly half a bushel of large mushrooms from about two poles of ground, planted as above; and have had two or three gatherings before, and expect to have a good many more before the season is over.

Art. VII. On the Mode of raising Mushrooms from the Mushroom Stone. By Mr. James ALEXANDER, Gardener at Maeslaugh Castle.
I wave no doubt but you, and many of your correspondents, are acquainted with the mushroom stone; but, as I have not seen it mentioned in your Magazine, I send you the following account of one that was under my care for upwards of two years. It was sent to Mr. Thorburn of Murth, from Calabra, in Sicily, with directions to give it a little water when it appeared dry, which was generally three or four times a week in dry weather : and, in the course of a fortnight after I received it, a couple of
mushrooms made their appearance, which grew to be very large ; D2
36 09 - Floricultural and Botanical Notices,
I think, about 9 in. in diameter. They were porous beneath, in place of gill, as in the common mushroom; consequently, they appeared rather to be a species of Bolétus than a species of Agaricus. However, they were of excellent flavour, and the ship captain who brought the stone home told me that it pro- duced three mushrooms at sea, which, he said, were very fine. In three or four weeks after the two above-mentioned were ga- thered, three or four more came up, and so on, for the first year. The second year it was not quite so productive; and, in 1833, my successor informed me that the mushroom stone was nearly exhausted. I think eight or ten such stones would supply an ordinary family with mushrooms for two or three years. Maeslaugh Castle Gardens, June 16. 1835.

A Key to Structural, Physiological, and Systematic Botany, for the Use of Classes. By John Lindley, Ph. D. F.R.S. L.S. and G.S., Professor of Botany in the University of London, and in the Royal Institution of Great Britain. — This work, recently published, is a more matured edition of both the enunoe s Outline of the First Principles of Botany, and of his Nixus Plantarum, both included in this one, the Key. ‘The Outline, published in 1830, has been previously commended in this Magazine; and it may be stated of that part of the Key which embraces the same subjects as that work, namely, the structure and physiology of plants, that information so succinct and comprehensive on them is not to be obtained in any other work extant. ‘The Nzxus Plantarum is written in Latin; it was published in 1833; its subject and office are noticed in Vol. IX. p. 608, 609.: that part of the Key ~ which embraces the same subject is written in English, with the exception of the denominative botanic terms. ‘The author’s ob- ject, in both the Nexus and the kindred part of the Key, is, to consociate congruously the natural orders into groups, inter- mediate in the rank of comprehensiveness between the orders themselves and those few groups of much higher rank, as, dicoty- ledoneze or exdgenze dichlamydeee thalamifloree, Hort, Brit., p. 492. 495.; dicotyledoneze dichlamydeze calyciflorse, Hort. Brit., p- 492. 508.; dicotyledoneze dichlamydeze corollifloree, Hort. Brit., p. 492. 523. ; dicotyledoneze monochlamydeze, Hort. Brit., p. 492. 530.; monocotyledonese, Hort. Brit., 492. 535.; in each of which rather many orders were included, and these less con- gruously associated among themselves than was desirable. His proposed mode of effecting this object is, by consociating orders by characters of common agreement into groups, named al- liances ; and alliances into groups, named groups.
In application to the species of plants which may be noted on in the floricultural and botanical notices anticipated to be given in the Twelfth Volume of this Magazine, it is purposed to cite, ad- ditionally to the name of the natural orders to which they may belong, the names of the alliances, groups, and higher groups, to which the cited orders may belong. ‘The fulfilling of this pur- pose will have, at least, the effect of placing these botanic terms in the way of the cognisance of readers of the notices, and, in some cases, may have the better effect of contributing to elucidate the
end of the invention and first application of them. Relative to ; D3

previous notices, the orders cited in application to the species noted on have been placed in a course of succession after that in which they are placed in Lindley’s Introduction to the Natural System of Botany ; and the numbers prefixed to them are those he has used in that work to denote their successional place in his series of all the orders.
The author, in his system presented in his Key, has employed some devices in nomenclature which he has thus explained : — «To prevent confusion in the use of the names of the numerous divisions in the natural system, it is to be observed, that the names of the suborders terminate in ee ; of the orders in acee ; of the alliances, in ales ; and of the groups, in ose. ‘The higher di- _ visions have merely plural terminations. The ear of the classical critic may be offended at many of these terminations ; but the distinction which they establish is too important not to outweigh all verbal niceties of construction.” ‘The author has other notes on this part of his work, in his preface, thus :—‘*I have... ventured to reform the laneuage of botanists in some respects, by carry- ing out their own principles to their full extent; thus securing amore uniform kind of nomenclature, and expressing the value” of the classes, orders, &c., in all cases, by the manner of the ter- mination of their names. ‘The scheme of arrangement which Dr. Lindley has proposed in his Key is a production that no one can investigate without high profit. — J.

received from Mr. David Douglas, in the years 1831, 1832, 1833. By George Bentham, Esq., I'.L.S., Secretary.” The report was read on June 17. 1834. Not any of the live plants of either of the two species of Zzbes had, up to that date, produced flowers. Both are allied to sanguineum. Glutinosum in foliage only dif- fers from that species in being destitute of down and slightly viscous. It promises, from the dried specimens transmitted by Mr. Douglas, to exceed sanguineum in beauty: the bunches of flowers are twice the length of the bunches of sanguineum, and contain at least from 30 to 40 flowers, which are borne on long slender pedicels ; the colour of the flowers is red: its degree of in- tensity cannot be judged of from the dried state of the specimens. Glutinosum “is quite hardy, and grows vigorously incommon gar- den soil.” Malvaceum differs from sanguineum in these points: — its leaves are very rough and hispid on the upper side, and clothed underneath with a whitish cottony down. The bunches of flowers are shorter and closer, and each flower is nearly sessile on the common stalk. It is deemed to be as hardy as san- guineum, and as easily propagated. (Hort. Trans.)
