In the open garden, we noticed a small bed of tlie beautiful 

 JEuphorbm Jacquin(c/?ora, scarcely yet known in n)any col- 

 lections, but a brilliant plant, in winter, in the bot-house; the 

 green-house is not warm enough to flower it. Not only at 

 Mr. Sherwood's, but at other places, we noticed it turned 

 out of the pots into the ground, where it does much better 

 than when its roots are confined: tbe plants grow more com- 

 pact and bushy, the foliage strong and vigorous, and if taken 

 up carefully and potted in September, they produce an abun- 

 dance of its wreaths of scarlet blossoms from January to 

 April. Mr. Sherwood's collection of tender roses is very 

 large, and comprises many of the leading new sorts: his col- 

 lection of green-bouse plants we found also very good, but a 

 correspondent, in our last volume, (p. 127,) has given so ex- 

 tended an account of them, that it is unnecessary for us to 

 extend our remarks at this time. 



Floivcr Establisliment of Peter JMackenzie^ Sprrice Street. — 

 Our last notice of Mr. Mackenzie's garden appeared in the 

 fall of 1839, (Vol. V., p. 369,) but a correspondent has fur- 

 nished us with some further account of it, in our last volume, 

 (p. 125.) Mr. Mackenzie is a most excellent cultivator of 

 plants, and has stored his establishment with a choice and well 

 grown assortment. 



The most important acquisitions which have been made 

 since our last visit, are the new azaleas which have been [)ro- 

 duced from seed by Mr. Mackenzie, and the finest of which 

 have been described in our last volume, (p. 223;) some of 

 them are very fine, particularly A. var. Cope??*. We noticed 

 a fine stock of young plants coming on, of the several varie- 

 ties, and Mr. Mackenzie will soon be able to supply plants of 

 all the kinds he has raised. IMnny new camellias have been 

 added, and we found a fine and ikirifiy stock of young [ilanis. 

 The collection of roses is large, and includes all the good 

 sorts: owing to the hot and dry season, we found but a lim- 

 ited number of kinds in bloom. We noticed a number of 

 plants in the open ground, of that fine variety of the Bengal, 

 Agrijjpina, which were blooming abundantly; and a few of 

 the same sorts we have already noticed at other places, were 

 expanding an occasional flower.
