The shape of the green-house roof is curvilinear, and pointed at top, some- 

 thing like a Gothic arch : the whole length of the range of houses is nearly 

 300 ft.

A remarkably beautiful variety, said to be a genuine Japanese kind, and to 

 have been brought to Holland by Dr. Sieboldt. It is figured from the Clap- 

 ton Nursery, where plants may be obtained. (^Bot. Beg., May.)

This is a very beautiful plant ; and, as Mr. Baxter has noticed, p. 213., not 

 very common. Our plant at Bayswater, for which we are indebted to the 

 kindness of Mr. Baxter, has this day (May 4.) expanded its first blossom; but,

This species closely resembles Z/upinus subcarnosus ; but it differs some-

This sort of Cratae^gus has very dark red fruit ; and there are several 

 fine plants of it in the gardens of Fulham Palace, and in the Fulham Nursery ; 

 and one as a standard in the southern boundary hedge of the Horticultural 

 Society's garden. Dr. Lindley considers it " the genuine Oriental mespilus 

 of Tournefort, with villous celery-like leaves, and a large purple five-cornered 

 smooth fruit ; " distinct from C. odoratissima, and C. tanacetifolia. It is a 

 native of the Crimea, and of parts bordering on the Black Sea. To us it ap- 

 pears to differ from C. odoratissima only in the colour of the fruit ; and, as the 

 plant bearing the latter name in British gardens is not at all remarkable for the
