Botanical and Floricidtural Intelligence. Mr. Linden's 

 Plants. — This enterprising collector has lately returned from 

 Cuba with a large quantity of valuable plants^ which have 

 been sent to Brussels. In the ensuing spring Mr. Linden 

 intends to ofl^r them for sale. The plants were mostly col- 

 lected in Cuba, and partly in the unfrequented regions of 

 Merida and Cauca. 



Nev: Gladiohises. — We had occasion last season to notice 

 several of the new gladioluses which have been produced in 

 Germany, among which was the gandavensis. This variety 

 has now become considerably disseminated in England, 

 though but little known with us ; but the freeness with which 

 it produces olfsetts will soon bring it Avithin the reach of all 

 lovers of this beautiful tribe. A great number of new h];-- 

 brids of G. ramosus are now offered for sale in Germany, 

 and we hope that they will soon find their way into our col- 

 lections. Few plants are more valuable to the American cul- 

 tivator than the gladiolus, as they are easy of cultivation, 

 and may be planted out in the border in May. when, after 

 blooming finely, they may be taken up in the autumn, and 

 placed in the cellar, where there is no frost, and in the spring 

 again planted out as before. We Avould suggest to our ama- 

 teur cultivators the propriety of giving their attention to seed- 

 lings from the floribundus, nanalensis, ramosus, &c., crossed 

 with each other ; some fine novelties would undoubtedly^ be 

 obtained.
