August 30, and 31. — We are happy to find it is the intention of Messrs. 

 Young to form an arboretum, with the same extraordinary exertion that 

 they have bestowed on their herbaceous collection ; and most ardently 

 do we desire that their efforts may be attended with the same success. 

 We know of no nurserymen who can do it so well ; because we know of no 

 nursery where there is a foreman so truly scientific, and so very enthusiastic 

 and industrious, as Mr. Penny. We hope we shall not spoil that young man, 

 by saying all that we think of him. We hope he will continue to labour 

 hard both in body and mind, and to keep his heart for many years on his 

 very extensive (for an individual so circumstanced) botanical library. At 

 45 he may relax a little. We have now Mr. Donald, Mr. Buchanan, and 

 Messrs. Young following the example set by Messrs. Loddiges. We shall 

 surely have something as a result ; and we trust that, in connection with our 

 plans to be given in Illustrations of Landscape-Gardening (Part 1. of which 

 appears with the present Number), it will be the diffusion of rare trees and 

 shrubs everywhere — every shrubbery in short an arboretum. — Cond. 



Tooting Nursery. Aug. 29. — The collection of heaths here, of which in 

 an early Number we gave a copious list, is yearly increasing. Above a 

 dozen of new species and varieties were raised last year from seeds received 

 from the Cape of Good Hope ; and some of them have already come into 

 flower. The collection of American trees and shrubs is also receiving ad- 

 ditions, especially in that most beautiful genus Azalea. The home nursery, 

 enclosed within high walls, is being gradually converted into a choice flower 

 garden } and the fruit trees on the walls made to give place to the more rare 

 and beautiful trees, shrubs, and roses. Fuchsia conica, tfvymifolia, and 

 other species, and Magnolia fuscata, have stood the winter against these 

 walls without any covering ; dying down to the ground, and springing up 

 again vigorously in spring, so as now to be between 3 and 4 ft. high. That 

 noble plant Hovea Celsi has here been propagated with extraordinary suc- 

 cess, and we saw upwards of 1000 seedlings. This plant ought to be in 

 every green-house and conservatory, and tried against every warm wall. As 

 usual here, every thing is in excellent order. We were much pleased to 

 see that the Miss Rollisons, highly accomplished young ladies, have gardens 

 which they form, plant, and cultivate themselves. These ladies draw flowers 

 most beautifully and scientifically ; and we have recommended to them the 

 drawing on stone and publication of the different heaths raised for the first 

 time by their father and brothers. To see Miss Ronalds, the daughter of 

 one nurseryman, preparing a work on apples, and those of another preparing 

 a work on heaths, is a gratifying proof of the progress of the age. The 

 young nurseryman who would not desire to possess the Brentford col- 

 lection of apples, and the select Tooting heaths, must be a heartless son 

 of Adam indeed, — Cond,
