*Passifl6ra chinensis. All these spe- 

 cies flower well out, and need but 

 little protection during winter. 



P. edulis. Now in flower, with 

 fruit set ; grown from a layer of 

 last year. Layers of the Passi- 

 flora edulis, planted early in spring, 

 on a south wall, will afford a nearly 

 constant supply of its grateful 

 fruit during the year; and will 

 save the very great room which a 

 single fruiting plant of it takes up 

 in a house.

 I have sixty species and varieties 

 of pelargoniums ; large plants 

 planted out, which I intend to 

 remain to take their chance for 

 next winter, as many such stood 

 out uninjured in Livingston's nur- 

 sery, at the south of Dublin, and 

 also at the Trinity College gar- 

 den, last year.

The garden in which these plants are growing is one mile 

 north of Dublin ; its surface is about twenty-five feet above 

 the level of the sea, and it slopes gradually to the south, with 

 an inclination of about one in twenty. All the above plants, 

 with the exceptions of the Camelha and Citrus, are in good 

 health. The roots of all are covered about six inches in 

 depth with light dry turf mould in winter; which, after very 

 wet weather, is removed, and dry substituted. Some of the 

 more tender are protected by mats, but most are left exposed the 

 whole winter. The mesembryanthemums are on a rockwork, 

 with the interstices filled with pebbles and a little earth, and 

 are growing luxuriantly. Most of them were in full flower 

 about a month since.
