A great many fine plants have been described from this garden, 

 in the Edinburgh J^eio Philosophical Journal. 



A hst of animals kept at Canonmills Cottage is given; but this 

 would not, probably, be interesting to many of our readers. 



In the spring of the present year a rail-road was projected be- 

 tween Edinburgh and Newhaven, and the hne of direction laid 

 down was unfortunately through Dr. Neill's garden. Dr. Neill 

 petitioned parliament on the subject, but was finally obliged to 

 submit. The following is the " Extent of Glass and number of 

 Plants in Pots," as drawn up in his petition: — 



" A span-roof conservatory, or cool green-house, thirty feet long, 

 seventeen feet wide, and fourteen feet high, containing upwards of five 

 hundred pots, A stove, or hot-house, twenty feet long, fifteen feet wide, 

 and twelve . feet high ; above four hundred pots. A vinery, or warm 

 green-house, of same dimensions as stove; three hundred and twenty 

 pots. A large brick-built forcing, or warm pit, twenty feet long, wkh 

 five double lights; four hundred pots at present — often above one hun- 

 dred more. A cape bulb frame of three sashes; plants in the border. 

 An orchis frame of four sashes; plants in the border. An Alpine frame 

 of four sashes; two hundred and ten pots. A glazed house, ten feet 

 high, for protecting plants in winter. The amount of pots with plants, 

 at present, is above two thousand and thirty; and the number of species 

 and varieties of plants, including trees and shrubs in the open ground, 

 greatly exceeds one thousand." 



Dr. Neill is a great lover of gardening. The flourishing state 

 of the Caledonian Horticultural Society, of which he is secretary, 

 is mainly owing to his exertions. Dr. Neill is the author of 

 many valuable papers in the Edinburgh JVet« Philosophical Jour- 

 nal, J^icholson''s Journal, Magazine of JWitural History, Gar- 

 dener'' s Magazine, ^c. 



Art. 2 is a design for a cemetery; but a description of it would 

 not be well understood without the accompanying engraving. 



The 3d article is a " descriptive notice, accompanied by 

 plans and sections, of a range of forcing-houses," erected at Ev- 

 eringham Park, Yorkshire. 



In general appearance very similar to the elegant range at Bel- 

 mont Place, though not on so large a scale. It includes a green- 

 house, graperies, and peacheries. 



Art. 5, "On the mode in which Hyacinths are grown in the 

 neighborhood of Berlin." 



Vast quantities of bulbs are grown in Berlin, and probably be- 

 fore long the number will be almost as great as that grown in 

 Harlem, in Holland. We extract the remarks of the writer, 

 made from a few notes taken when he visited these gardens:— 



" You are well aware that the Dutch, of all other nations in the world,
