The Harrison Rose does not strike from cuttings, neither 

 does it root easily from layers, nor is it prolific in suckers ; 

 and from these causes it has very slowly found its way 

 into our gardens. Messrs. Hogg, however, informed us 

 that it is easily multiplied by cuttings of the 7^oots, which 

 make plants in a short time and bloom abundantly the 

 second year. Unless budding on the Boursault, or some 

 other stock is adopted, propagation from the roots should 

 be resorted to. 



The father and two sons are now engaged in the busi- 

 ness, and we hope, from the increased facilities of more 

 land, they will be enabled to make up for the loss of their 

 city garden, which, from its situation, near Broadway, 

 afforded them an opportunity of supplying large numbers 

 of bouquets during the winter season. 



Green-house and Seed-store of Dimlap 6)" Ccirman^ 

 Broadway. — Our correspondent, Mr. Dunlap, has now lo- 

 cated himself in Broadway, in connection Avith a young 

 man, son of Mr. Carman, of Fort Washington. Since our 

 notice of Mr. Dunlap's place, in 1841, he has been engaged 

 in trade, in the city, with Mr. Niblo, at his garden, and 

 had charge of the plants, and, in connexion, a seed-store. 

 This connexion was dissolved in the course of the last sea- 

 son, and Messrs. Dunlap & Carman now occupy a store at 

 535 Broadway. 



In the rear of the store a new green-house has been 

 erected, 100 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 12 feet high at the 

 sides, with a span roof. The walls are built of brick, 

 without side lights, and in a substantial manner. This 

 house adjoins, in a transverse direction, another one about 

 50 feet long, which runs directly back from the store, and 

 may be occupied either as a show-room for plants or for 

 the purposes of a seed- store. It will be an admirable place 

 to show off dahlias, or any other flowers, to great advan- 

 vantage, from the fine light on all sides. At the time we 

 were here, the house had just been built and no stages had 

 been erected. The large house has a border about two 

 feet wide, and then a walk about three feet wide, all round; 

 leaving a raised platform of brick work, ten inches high, 

 with a stone curb, through the centre of the house, upon 

 which the plants are placed. Immediately, in the centre 

 of the range, is a handsome fountain from which the 

 water falls into a large basin, in which are numbers of gold
