not aware of their origin, as good species. The Cactus in question is at Mr. 

 Tate's nursery, Sloane Street, and is said to have come from Mexico ; but it 

 differs in no respect from several others that have bloomed in the various 

 nurseries of Mr. Mackie, Messrs. Lee, and Mr. Dennis, which have 

 notoriously been originated by cross fecundation. Some fine plants of Cal- 

 ceolaria arachnoidea, and C. ^lantaglnea are now in full bloom, promising 

 an abundant supply of seeds ; the former is also readily increased by cut- 

 tings. CBnothera rosea alba is also plentiful, and certainly one of the 

 most conspicuous species in that elegant genus, to which Clarkia pulchella, 

 also now plentiful, is closely allied, iupinus polyphyllus promises to seed 

 abundantly ; it has been grown to the greatest perfection, throwing up its 

 beautiful spikes of bright blue flowers more than 2 ft. high, at Mr. Russell's 

 nursery at Battersea. — G. C. July 18. 1829.
