It is considered as a hardy shrub, but being a native of 
Florida and Georgia, will succeed best if protected in the 
Spring, when the weather is cold, by being placed in the 
greenhouse. Communicated by Mr. Tuompson of Mile 
End, the worthy successor of the late celebrated Mr. James 
Gorpon, whose Nursery was one of the first that rose to 
botanical celebrity in this country.
