Remarks. The preceding table, independently of its botanical merits, we consider of great value 

 in a practical point of view ; because it does not contain a single species or variety that is not, 

 at the present moment (April, 1836), growing in the London Horticultural Society's Garden ; and 

 because it points out the names of the nurseries from which these plants were sent to the Society. 

 Whoever, therefore, wishes to form a collection of Cratae'gus (and we do not think that there is 

 another genus of hardy ligneous plants at all to be compared with it in point of beauty, variety, and 

 general interest) can find no difficulty in gratifying his wishes. He may procure almost every spe- 

 cies and variety from the principal London nurserymen, at from Is. Gd. to 2s. 6d. each ; or, if he 

 does not choose to go to that expense, and is a Fellow of the Horticultural Society, he may obtain 

 scions from the Society, at the grafting or budding season, which may be sent packed in moss, 

 either in winter or summer, to the most distant parts of the island ; and which may be grafted or 

 budded on the common hawthorn. If hawthorn stocks should not be already provided, the buds 

 or grafts may be inserted in the plants of a common hedge, at regular distances, and the shoot*
