520 Botanical, Floricultural, and A rbori cultural Notices, 



of plants. If it can be shown that any part of the above proposal is unrea- 

 sonable, we shall be glad to listen to what may be considered reason. 



Such nurserymen as comply with the above conditions will have their names, 

 and an account of their collections, conspicuously recorded in this Magazine, 

 and they will be strongly and exclusively recommended by us to purchasers 

 of hardy trees and shrubs. 



We have been induced to make the above offer from having recently seen 

 the confused state of the nomenclature in different public gardens and 

 nurseries ; in short, in every public and private collection in the country that 

 we know of, without any exception whatever; and from a wish to follow 

 up the intention of our Arboretum Britannicum, as expressed in the preface 

 to that work. We hope, at least, that one or two public nurseries will accept 

 our proposal, in order that we may be able to recommend them strongly, and 

 with all our heart. 



Our grand wish is, to effect that for hardy trees and shrubs which the Hor- 

 ticultural Society has so admirably done for hardy fruits, viz. the intro- 

 duction of the same nomenclature in all nurseries and collections, and the 

 diffusion everywhere of all the kinds which it is desirable to cultivate.

 A rather curious herbaceous plant; a native of Japan, brought to Europe 

 by M. Von Siebold. It flowered in the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, in' the 

 green-house ; but Dr. Graham thinks that it " will, without doubt, bear culti- 

 vation in the open border." (Bot. Mag., August.)
