Dr. R. Schomburgk has been preparing a plan for a magni- 

 ficent garden, which it is proposed to lay out in the vicinity 

 of the town of Adelaide. Our confreres of the fifth part of the 

 world make rapid progress in botanical and horticultural 

 works. 



— International Exhibition at Cologne. — This exhi- 

 bition is to be opened on the twenty-fifth of August next. The 

 Netherlands Steam Navigation Company and the Belgian Com- 

 pany, whose steamers ply respectively between London, Rot- 

 terdam, Dover and Ostend, as well as the Rhenish Railway 

 Company, have reduced the freight of goods to be sent to the 

 exhibition by 50 per cent, and no duty will be charged on 

 such objects, unless they should be sold in the country. 



— Obituary. — Mr. Cher pin, the editor of the Revue des 

 Jardins et des Champs, known in this country more especially 

 for his partiality to Roses, died at Lyons on the tenth of

which is quite intermediate in its character between the two 

 parents. It unites the vigorous growth of C. maximum with 

 the habit, bright hues, and disposition of the colours of 

 C. Veitehi. We have observed that since Mr. Ed. [Andre, to 

 whom we have dedicated this our first personal acquisition, 

 made his description from the living plant in January, it has 

 gone on increasing in size and vigour, and in the brillancy 

 of the colours it displays. Hence we entertain a strong hope 

 that C. Andreanum will take its place among the best acqui- 

 sitions of late years in Crotons, whether raised from seed or 

 introduced; and we also look forward to being able to send 

 it out next year («).
