The iS". peruviana it is now well known, does not grow in 

 Peru. Its native country is Portugal : Desfontaines found 

 it in cornfields, in Algiers ; and it has also been found in 

 Tripoli and Corsica, as well as in Sicily and near Genoa. 



The present variety was received from Algiers, by the 

 Hon. and Rev. Dean of Manchester, and in the climate of 

 England is a hardy bulb. Here, however, it should be 

 wintered in a frame or greenhouse, and be turned out into 

 the border in April, where it will bloom freely. It grows in 

 any good soil, and is increased by offsets. (^Bot. Meg., Sept.)

Art. V. Notes on Gardens and Nurseries. 



A few weeks since we visited some of the gardens of our 

 friends in Lynn and Salem, and noting down some few 

 memoranda, we take the opportunity to give them to our 

 readers. The season was rather far advanced, and our time 

 too limited to take only a general view of the places we 

 visited.
