flowered every season, for several years, and it is well vs^orth seeing, 

 by every lover of plants. — Ed. 



Ipomce\i Horsfdll'ive is now flowering profusely at Mr. Cushing's, 

 Watertown; its huge, deep crimson blossoms in immense clusters, 

 depending from the shoots, which are trained on the back wall and 

 over the walk, presenting one of the most gorgeous displays. It 

 should be in every collection of hot-house plants. — Id. 



Euloca v'lscida. — This beautiful annual, with many others, is 

 now in bloom, at the conservatory of T. Lee, Esq., in Brookline. 

 Mr. Lee is a great lover of those kinds of annuals which bear pot 

 cultivation, and flower freely during winter: he has great success in 

 cultivating them, and does not f^iil to produce flowers nearly the 

 whole year round. — Id. 



Abridged Catalogue of Fruits, Dahlias, S,-c., cultivated by MM. 

 Lefevre, pere & fils, Montefortaine, near Paris. — M. A. Lefevre has 

 sent us several catalogues, containing an abridged list of many of the 

 best pears and other fruits grown in their extensive nursery in 

 France, for whom M. Lander & fils, William street, New York, are 

 agents. The catalogue enumerates a great number of superior 

 fruits, and as the establishment of JM. Lefevre & fils is one of high 

 standing, we doubt not but that gentlemen who wish to import trees 

 from France can do so to good advantage, through the agency 

 of MM. Lander, of New York. We have several of the Cata- 

 logues, which have been forwarded to us, which we will distribute to 

 those who will call upon us for them. — Id. 



A Cemetery in Albany, N. Y. — We see, by a notice which has 

 appeared in some of the newspapers of New York, since our article 

 was written, in this number, that the citizens of Albany have had a 

 meeting preparatory to the organization of a company for the pur- 

 pose of purchasing a spot of ground, to be laid out as a cemetery. 

 It is time they should move in this matter, unless they .wish to be 

 outdone by the flourishing city of Rochester. We believe some very 

 beautiful situations may be found in the vicinity of Albany, for cem- 

 eteries. — Id. 



Kuphorbia. Jacgiimseflora. — A plant of this brilliant species, one of 

 the finest of the euphorbias in cultivation, is now in bloom in the 

 stove at Belmont Place, Watertown. A description of it will be 

 found in our II., p. 261. Mr. Buist, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Hogg, 

 of New York, both imported plants, from whence it has been dis- 

 seminated among amateurs, though it is not yet found only in the 

 most choice collections. The plant at Mr. Cushing's has been well 

 grown, and its long and slender shoots are covered with its dazzling 

 scarlet flowers, which, springing in great numbers from the axils of 

 the leaves, for the distance of a foot or more, have a plume-like and 

 stately appearance. It will prove a great favorite in all collections.

The Swainstone Seedling Straivberry, a new variety, lately origi- 

 nated in England, has been recently imported by Mr. W. Kenrick, 

 nurseryman. It is said to possess the remarkable property of bearing 

 all sununer. Ripe fruit, green fruit, blossoms, and buds may be seen 

 upon the plant at the same time: it is of medium size, and good fla- 

 vor. We shall allude to it again under our pomological notices. — Id. 



New article for hot water pipes. — We have lately had put up, in 

 our green-house, a hoc water apparatus, the pipes of which are
