Ciishing/om« (which we hope, however, Mr. Walker will 

 alter to Mr. Cushing's pink,) in compliment to J. P. Gushing, 

 Esq., of Belmont Place, Watertown, one of the greatest patrons 

 of gardening in the country, is a very fine one, and we are glad 

 Mr. Walker has set the example of naming flowers in compli- 

 ment to the patrons and amateurs of gardening, of which our 

 country can already boast of a great number. INIr. Wilder has 

 also raised some fine ones, but he has informed us that he shall 

 grow them another season before he shall give them any names. 

 Mr. Miller has also given one of the best of his the name of 

 Daniel Webster. The lovers of this beautiful and fragrant 

 flower must be gratified to see the zeal which is manifested in 

 the raising of new varieties. Another season we shall look for- 

 ward to a "pink show" of great interest.

GARDE'NM (named in compliment to Dr. Alexander Garden, physician, of Charleston, S. C, 

 and a correspondent of Linnaeus.) 

 pdnnea Liinll. Chith-lcavcil Gardenia. A stove shrub ; growing four or five feet high ; with 

 straw colored blossoms : appearing in June ; a native of Soutli America. I5ot. Ueg., ][)5-2. 



A new stove shrub, with the habit of the other species, but 

 with very large, long, rugose leaves, and with terminal clus- 

 ters of long tubular flowers, of a straw color on the inner, and a 

 yellowish orange on the outer, side of the petals. It was intro- 

 duced, some years ago, to the London Horticultural Society's 

 garden, where the present drawing was taken, three years siiice. 

 Like a greater part of the " woody inhabitants of the tropics, it 

 seldom produces flowers in this country." It is scarcely worth 

 introduction; the flowers are destitute of fragrance, and the foli- 

 age coarse and unhandsome. (Bot. Reg., May.) 



Volemonidcece. 



Leptoslphon nndrosdceus and densifloriis., as will be seen in 

 another page, have been exhibited at the Horticultural Society's 

 room. We have several plants in bloom, all of which are charm- 

 .ing, with their clusters of flowers of various shades, from white 

 to blue. They flower freely, but prefer a cool situation, and 

 flourish better when planted in early spring, than when the same 

 is delayed until May. 



Vklox Drummondi. — The Hon. and Rev. Wm. Herbert, in 

 a note to Dr. Lindley, in the Botanical Register, states that this 

 species never ripens seeds with him, but that it is " easily multi- 

 plied and perpetuated by pipings, in sand, on a warm flue. A 

 piping from the flowering umbel makes as good a plant as any 

 other part of it, though it may have only flower buds when set."
