72 Mtices of new and beautiful Plants 



At Messrs. JVinships\ Brighton, and JMessrs. Masons\ 

 Charlestown, several kinds will be in flower, but mostly of the 

 more common varieties. 



Mr. Cushing is about enriching his collection by the addition 

 of the new varieties. 



In JVetc York the collections of Messrs. Hogg and Floy are 

 probably in their greatest splendor; we had hoped to have given 

 a list of the varieties which would be in bloom in their gardens, 

 but W'Cre unable to this month. 



Mr. Knevels, of JWwburgh, JV. F., has a fine collection, and 

 our friends in that vicinity will not let this opportunity pass by 

 of gratifying themselves with a sight of the numerous and beau- 

 tiful varieties in his possession. 



Legumindcece. 



Jlckc'ia spectabile is now in flower at Mr. Wilder's; we also 

 have it coming into bloom at our garden; it is a lovely species 

 and highly odoriferous in its flowers. »^. lophantha, common in 

 most gardens, is now also in bloom; its growth is too rapid to 

 make it a favorite, as it soon acquires a size which forbids its 

 admission to ordinary green-houses. 



Plants of the magnificent Clianthus puniceus, (noticed in vol. 

 ii, p. 79,) are for sale by Mr. Buist, Philadelphia.

 In this order many beautiful species and varieties of Azalea, 

 iJhododendron, £rica, Andromeda, &c., will be in flower at 

 the various gardens. At Mr. Wilder's, Azalea indica ignescens, 

 i. Gillinghami, i. phoenicea elegans and i. Smithn coccinea, will 

 blossom, together with most of the common sorts; phoenicea has 

 already begun to open its flowers. With us. Azalea indica 

 Smithn will be superbly in bloom; last year the plant, which 

 was small, had upwards of a hundred flowers expanded at one 

 time; it will produce a greater number this season. This is the 

 handsomest of all the azaleas that we have ever seen; some gar- 

 deners have expressed an opinion that it is not the true Smithii, 

 as plants have been received from England marked as Smithn 

 coccinea, and from this it is inferred that there is a spurious and 

 a true sort: for ourselves we have no doubt of its correctness, as 

 no other kind has that very peculiar habit of producing eight or 

 ten flowers in a cluster. -Brica arborea is now charming in all 

 collections in which it is found, with its branches clothed with 

 its delicate little racemes of blossoms. E. rubida has been in fine 

 flower in Mr. Towne's choice collection, and many others are 

 now about showing bloom. Rhododendrons will not bloom quite 

 so freely this season as usual; R. arboreumhy'bridum is beginning
