//ypericineae, Ononis longifolia Willd, a very beautiful species; 

 and Z/6tus Broussonet// Choisy. Seeds and dried specimens of 

 these and many more fine plants will, we trust, be sent home by 

 Dr. Lippold ; who, accordincr to the last accounts, will, early in 

 the next spring, leave Madeira for the Canaries. The Histoire 

 Naturclle des lies Canaries is to be completed in 50 livraisons, 

 which will be delivered to subscribers at 6 francs each, and the 

 price raised considerably to non-subscribers. 



GERMANY. 



Allgemeine Gartenzcitung. Nos. 12. to 40.; from March 25. to 

 October 27. 1837. Conducted by F. Otto, Royal Prussian 

 Garden Director; and Dr. Dietrich, Teacher in the Garden 

 Institution of Berlin. 



The fifth year since this work commenced is now nearly com- 

 pleted. It consists chiefly of translations from the English bo- 

 tanical periodicals, but in part, also, of original matter ; and, on 

 the whole, we should think it is one of the most useful garden 

 periodicals that ever has been published in Germany.

 Transactions of the Frankfort Society for the Advancement of 

 Garden and Field Culture; being a Section of the Frankfort 

 Institution for the Advancement of the Useful Arts and their 

 subservient Sciences, &,c. 4to. Part I. Frankfort, 1837. 



The Frankfort Horticultural Society was established in 1835, 

 and the present is the first part of their Transactions. This part 

 contains several papers of considerable length ; among which 

 is a very copious account of the Mode of cultivating the Hya- 

 cinth at Haarlem ; an abridgment of which, from the author's 

 MS., was given in this Magazine some years back. There 

 is a good article on the Culture of Ericas ; a notice respecting 

 the death of Douglas, which does great honour to M. Rinz, and 

 to the Society, and which led to the very handsome subscription 

 of the gardeners and amateurs of Frankfort, amounting to 15/. 

 There is an article on the Flower-Beds of English Gardens, one 

 on Amateurship, and a third on Landscape-Gardening ; which 

 articles we shall translate, and publish in this Magazine as 

 soon as we can find room. Besides these articles, there are a 

 number of very judicious selections from this Magazine, and, 

 among these, our article on the Progress of Gardening during
