Hood's Treatise on Hot-water Apparatus, where the subject is 

 thoroughly investigated in all its bearings. In perfecting the 

 apparatus, I have done my best ; and any one vs^ho employs it, 

 by following my instructions, may obtain my results, which, I 

 think, ought to satisfy him. 



Its adoption in various places is, perhaps, the best evidence 

 of its efficiency. Messrs. Loddiges at Hackney, Messrs. Chand- 

 ler at Vauxhall, Mr. Wilmot at Isleworth, can, I believe, give 

 satisfactory testimony respecting it, besides many priviite gar- 

 deners, among whom I may mention Mr. Johnson at Strath- 

 fieldsaye. On the whole, I consider that at Messrs. Chandler's 

 at Vauxhall the most favourable specimen of the apparatus, 

 though there are in that one or two defects, which may be easily 

 remedied, and which would not occur now after the more com- 

 plete experience attained in that and other extensive apparatus.

Very unlike the species of Nuttallk generally grown. It is a slender ever- 

 green species, with flowers very like those of ilfalva moschata. It has, as yet, 

 only been grown in pots ; but will probably prove hardy. It is propagated by 

 division of the roots, as it is difficult to strike by cuttings ; and seeds have 

 been only very sparingly produced. (Afag. of Bot. , March.)

A robust, bushy, evergreen species of Dillwynzff, with very showy flowers, 

 raised by Messrs. RoUison of Tooting, from seeds received from Baron Hiigel 

 of Vienna, without their native country being mentioned. It should be ma- 

 naged like heaths, with the exception of adding a little loam to the heath 

 mould in which it is grown. It is propagated by cuttings, which strike without
