 it was much admired. When full grown, it forms a bush 

 eight to ten feet high. It is a most profuse bloomer, forming 

 numerous heads of snowball flowers, like the common Guelder 

 roses." M. Siebold, who found it growing in Japan, says it 

 is one of the most beautiful shrubs there cultivated. The na- 

 tives have given it the name of Satsiuna Temari^ indicating 

 that its native country is Satsuma, the most southern province 

 ofKin-sia, 31° north latitude. It is a splendid shrub, and 

 should be immediately introduced. {Flore des SeiTcs^ Oct.)

 good collection. {Flore des Senses, Oct.)

The tropaiolums are exquisite little training plants, which 

 are very little known, and not often seen in our collections 

 of plants: the present subject is a new one introduced by 

 Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter, through their collector, Mr. Lobb. 

 It is one of the prettiest species, having bright scarlet flowers, 

 which display themselves in great abundance. As summer 

 flowering plants, this and other species ought to be found in 

 our collections. {Flore des Serves, Oct.)
