We received the specimens from which our drawing was 

 taken of this handsome species of Coreopsis from N. Hod- 

 son, Esq. of Bury St. Edmunds. It is scarcely hardy enough 

 to bear our winters without protection, but if planted out 

 early in the summer, it will produce its fine yellow flowers 

 in the autumn, which will continue till the frost sets in. 

 Native of Mexico. Introduced in 1799 by the Marchioness 

 of Bute.
