Sir, — In the last Number of your valuable and widely circulated Mis- 

 cellany, I observe, after recommending Mr. Sweet's excellent work, the 

 British Flower Garden, you express a wish that, with hardy herbaceous 

 plants, the author would also combine hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. 

 Allow me to inform you, that Mr. Sweet has anticipated your suggestion, 

 as you will see, by turning to the article Passiflora Colvilli (itself a shrub), 

 and he promises, occasionally, to introduce ornamental shrubs and trees. 

 In some of the subsequent Numbers we have figures of Erythrina crista 

 galli and Nauclea grattissima, two of the finest shrubs ever introduced into 

 this country. Allow me to suggest to Mr. W. J. Shennan, of Gunnersbury 

 Park, and Mr. Reid of the Holme, who have told us so exactly how to 

 manage the Erythrina under glass, to try what they can do with it as an out- 

 door shrub, and oblige their fellow horticulturists with an account of the 

 result. Wishing the Magazine that success which it deserves, I am, &c.
