BOTANICAL NOTES, NOTICES, AND QUERIES, 

 Guernsey Plants. 



I have been a few days in Gruernsey and Sark. I send a list of the 

 plants I saw which I thought most worthy of notice ; they are all well- 

 known Channel Island plants, but were most of them new to me. In a 

 garden at Monnaie-de-Bas, near St. Andrew's, where I was on a visit, there 

 was a magnificent Agave, showing for flower ; its growth Avas most rapid ^ 

 on June the 4th the plant looked dead, but by the 13th it had grown more 

 than five feet in height. It was by far the largest I saw in the island. 

 Guernsey appeared to me a bttle paradise.
