The present yariety of this charming tree, with delightfully 
fragrant flowers, was raised from seeds of Maenouia glauca, 
Sayed in 1808, by Mr. T'nomson, in his Nursery at Mile End; 
who informs us, that it is quite hardy, not being affected by 
Our severest winters; and grows freely in a mixture of bog- 
earth and Joam. It flowers abundantly in June and July, 
perfuming the surrounding air for a considerable distance.
