already enumerated, may be ‘mentioned an immense 
Stephanotis floribunda, not less than 8 feet in height,

a handsomely formed plant, produced a striking effect 
Another very handsome object, in the shape of Alla- 
manda ca'hartiea, was produced by Messrs. Frazer, of

and had on it upwards of 50 of its showy yellow blo:
