Green-house Plants in the open Air, 



proper season ; and we shall give our re- 



Pittosporum Tobira \_Arb. 

 Brit., p. 358.; andj%.48.] 

 stands in a southern ex- 

 posure, is 3 ft. high, and 

 as green as a common 

 laurel. 



Ylcsagnus songdria we 

 have growing as a shrub. 

 You do not mention it in 

 the Arb. Brit., with the 

 other eleagnuses. [From 

 the sprig of winter's wood 

 sent, and from the specific 

 name, we should deem 

 this identical with the E. 

 orientalis, or, at all events, only a variety 

 of it ; but we should like to see a speci- 

 men in foliage and flower. We have 

 written to Messrs. Pope and Son, to re- 

 quest them to send us specimens at the 



48 



marks on them in the supplementary notices 



to our Arb. Brit., which will appear from 



time to time in this Magazine.] 



Eriobotrya japonica [Arb. Brit., p. 933,; 



and Jig. 49.] has stood out three years as a 



hardy shrub or tree, in a sheltered spot, re- 

 taining its foliage all the winter. It is 6 ft. 



high. [No garden wall, either in England or Scotland, ought 



to be without this magnificent evergreen. In the warmest parts 



of Devonshire and Cornwall, 



it might be grafted here and 



there on a common haw- 

 thorn hedge.] 



Photinia serruldta [Arb. 



Brit., p. 868.; and^^. 50.] 



has been planted four years 



in a sheltered situation, and 



is now 6 ft. high. [There 



are trees 10 ft. and 12 ft. 



high of this noble ever- 

 green at Syon ; a portrait 



of one of which is given 



in the Arb. Brit.'] 



Vlnus Strobus [? var. pygmce^a], upwards of thirty years old,] 



forms a compact tuft, about 1 ft. in height, and the same inj 



diameter.
