J^otes relating to Floriculture. — A great number of plants, 

 raised from seeds, brought home from the Columbia River, by 

 Mr. Nuttall, the botanist, are in the possession of Mr. Buist, of 

 Philadelphia. Among them are some of the Calochorti, and a 

 few of the same things that were discovered by the lamented 

 Douglas. A species of Cactus, and a new plant, quite singular 

 in its habit, throwing out long slender stoloniferous shoots, also 

 brought home by Mr. Nuttall, are thriving well. Under the 

 care and skill of Mr. Buist, we have no doubt they will soon 

 be brought to a flowering state, and their names decided upon. 



Mr. Scott, late of the Exotic Nursery of Mr. Knight, King's Iload, 

 has been engaged by Mr. Buist to take charge of his establishment. 

 The skill of Mr. Scott in propagating rare plants is well known, 

 and we congratulate Mr. Buist in his success in procuring so able 

 a person. Very few first rate gardeners are yet to be found in the 

 country; and it is with pleasure that we now announce the anti- 

 cipated arrival of Mr. Scott. 



We are yet without the receipt of cither of (he works at the 

 head of this article, except the two latter: in these only florist's 

 flowers are figured; but as they may interest many of our readers, 

 we take pleasure in noticing them.
