this time (February, 1827) tiie centre shoot produced is nearly 2 ft. hicrh, and 

 is furnished all round witli tin-ee sets, or tiers, of recular horizontal branches. I 

 may add that this plant flowered with us in January, 1827, and was fi<Tured 

 in the Botanical Magazine, t. 2743. In 1826, 1 repeated my experiment on the 

 other plant with the very same success." (Gard. uMag., ii. p. -j-10.) 



Statistics. In the environs of LoikIoii the largest plant is in the Hammersmith Nursery whicli 

 is upwards of 10 ft. high, and would have been twice that height liad it not been cut down, u'ljwards 

 of 111 years ago, on account of its being too high for tlie lioiise in which it then stood. At Fulham 

 Palace, it is 5 ft. high ; and there are phuits of about this height in the Horticultural Society's Garden 

 Messrs. Loddiges's arboretum, Chcshunt, IJayfordburv, and various other places. Tho^e at Clare- 

 mont, and White Knights, have been already mentioned At Kedleaf, it is 8ft. 2 in] hi"h At 

 Edinburgh, in the Botanic Garden, it is 4 ft. 6 in. high; and in the Experimental Garden 2ft 

 6 in. high. In Ireland, there are i)lants in the different botanic gardens; and at Oriel Temple there 

 is one, which, in 18 >4, after being 12 years planted, was 7 ft. high. In Austria, at Vienna, at Laxen. 

 burg, where it receives protection during winter, 5 years planted, it is 6 ft. high. In Italy, at Monza 

 lU years planted, it is 20 ft. high. Price of plants, in the London nurseries, one guinea each. '
