Domestic Jfotices. 153 



&c. Since that time we have received a letter from him, givinj^ us the 

 dimensions of the range, with a list of several plants in the collection, 

 and also inforniinjf us that he has since taken into partnership Mr. 

 Isaac Buchanan, formerly gardener to Dr. Wood, and previously of 

 the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinl)urgh: the business is now con- 

 ducted under the firm of Mackenzie and Buchanan, as will be seen by 

 a reference to our advertising sheet. The following is a list of plants 

 of which they possess a good stock: — 



Alstonm macrophylla Manettia cordifolia 



Brugmansia sanguinea O'xalis Bowiei 



Combretum purpiireum floribiinda 



Coccoloba uvifera Pimelea decussata 



Cactus Boydsu Ruellia ciiiaris 



Napiert Russelia Jiincea 



' Vandesm Swietenio Mahdgoni 



Ackermanj major Silene lasciniata 



Sc6tti« Tropse^olum tricolorum 



Cactus mehicactus Wirsenia corymbosa 



Gloxinz'a grandiflora F'erbena Tweedieana 

 Gardoquia Hookeri and many other fine and 



Lechenaultm formosa new plants. 



Lantana Selowi 



The range is built with a double pitched roof, and is sixty feet in 

 length and eighteen feet wide, and is already stocked with a very choice 

 collection of plants. 



We wish Messrs. Mackenzie and Buchanan success in theirnevv avo- 

 cation. — Ed. 



New Camellia. — Mr. Boll, nurseryman, of New York, has sent us a 

 short description of a new and beautiful camellia which he has raised 

 from seed, and which has flowered this season. It is pronounced equal 

 to the double white. We shall give the description in our next. — Id. 



Camellia Flbyl. — This superb camellia, which has been sent both to 

 England and the Continent, has already obtained, in the latter, the 

 name of Frederick the Gre;it! under which it is placed in some cata- 

 logues. This is ])erfectly in accordance with the practices of the Con- 

 tinental gardeners, as has just been stated in a preceding pajre. At 

 some future time we shall give the s3'nonyms of all the camellias in 

 cultivation. Were the French catalogues correct, they would not con- 

 tain half the names they now do. — Id. 



Seedlins: Pinks. — Mr. Miller of Roxbury offers for sale several 

 of his seedling pinks. He has been quite successful in his seedlings, 

 and a few of the number are very fine. They were exhibited last sea- 

 son, and commanded much admiration. The following are the names 

 of the purple and red luced varieties: — Purple laced: Gen. Washing- 

 ton, Daniel Webster, Miss E. Watkins, Miss M. Rock, Conqueror, 

 Highland Lad, Lafayette, Roxbury Beauty, Gen. Warren. Red laced: 

 Cleopatra, Beauty, Blazing Comet (!), Gov. Everett, Cardinal, Nim- 

 rod, Lord Nelson, TrafalgJir, Midshiptnan. 



We hope Mr. Miller will meet with a ready sale for these varieties; 

 the pink is a fiivorite with us, and we shnli be glad to see their cultiva- 

 tion l)ecome more general. Mr. Walker has also raised some fine kinds, 

 Avhich he has named. Among the |)lants for which premiums are to be 

 awarded l)y the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, we hope the pink 

 will be included, and thus render their cultivation a matter of more in- 

 terest. — Ed.
