10 Botanical, Floricultural, and Arhoricultural Notices, 



tained, I send you the dimensions of a Petunia placed in the 

 latter end of May 1839, as a cutting (only a few inches high), 

 against a wall facing the south-east. It measured at the end of 

 that year 9 ft. in height, and 1 3 ft. in breadth ; a matting pro- 

 tected it through the winter, and it is now (Dec. 1. 184;0) 13 ft. 

 high, and 16 ft. broad. It is trained in the fan shape, and has 

 never ceased presenting throughout the spring, summer, and 

 autumn, a gorgeous mass of the most splendid bloom, until 

 checked by the frosts which set in here (in the hills of Caer- 

 marthenshire) early. A cutting, taken from the above Petunia 

 in the autumn of 1839, now measures 10 ft. high, by 12 ft. wide. 

 This Petunia is a hybrid between P. nyctaginiflora and P. phoe- 

 nicea; the blossom is large, and of a rosy purple colour, with a 

 dark eye. A Cobce^a scandens of this year has also reached the 

 height of 20 ft. — Dolau Cothi, near Llandovery, Dec. 1. 1840.
