Garden of T. Dunlap, Ilacrlem Plain, Jlug. \Qth. — Near 

 the Haerlern Depot, on the Eighth Avenue, just below the 

 junction of the avenue and One hundred and twenty-fifth Street, 

 we found the garden and nursery of our correspondent, Mr. 

 T. Dunlap, whose name is aheady familiar to some of our 

 readers, as the grower of several very fine seedling camellias. 

 Seven years since, when we first became acquainted with Mr. 

 Dunlap, then at Bloomingdale, he had a large number of seed- 

 ling camellias, and it was from the stock which we then saw, 

 that he raised the fine varieties described in our pages, (Vol. 

 VI., p. 23.) He would probably have raised other fine 

 ones ere this, had it not been for the circumstance of his 

 breaking up his collection, when about moving to the western 

 part of New York, and selling off nearly the whole of his 

 stock at auction. 



Returning to New York, Mr. Dunlap commenced the 

 formation of his present establishment, in the autumn of 1839, 

 and has now a very good collection. The grounds are about 

 fifteen acres in extent, situated upon a level spot. Only a 

 small portion is yet converted to nursery purposes. Part of 

 the land is under tillage, planted with potatoes, Stc, in order 

 to prepare it for use another year. The soil is rich loam,
