 Nicotiana calossia fourteen feet, and Datura sanguinea a diameter 

 of fourteen feet, and a height of nine. On the 14th January

 species of exotics in bloom on these grounds. Mr. Fox has also 

 recorded the unusual circumstance of over one hundred and 

 thirty plants flowering during the cold December of 1880. The 

 following list of the exotics of Eosehill is sure to astonish those 

 who have not yet been there.
