St. Petersburgh, all the features of the Garden plant are 

 exactly preserved. 



For the possession of it the Horticultural Society is in- 

 debted to Sir Oswald Moseley, Bart, in whose shrubbery at 

 RoUeston Hall I first saw it growing in 1 837. 



It is a hardy middle sized shrub, flowering about the 

 beginning of May, and growing well in any rather strong 

 rich soil, but not in a damp situation. 



It is increased by budding on the common plum stock 

 about the middle or end of July. 



The plant in the Garden of the Society was not in the 

 least injured by the severe winter of 1837-8.
