Heimm salicifolia, very fine, with thousands of beautiful yellow 

 flowers expanded at this time. To all appearance this plant has 

 been standing for many years in the most exposed situation in 

 the flower-garden. The reason why I am so particular in de- 

 scribing this beautiful plant is, that some of our clever men tell 

 us decidedly that it is a tender plant. We have also large 

 plants of Clematis caerulea, C. Sieboldt/, Vesiia /ycioides, 

 Casuarina e'quisetifolia, myrtles of various sorts, and plants of 

 different sizes ; but, if I were to tell people in the neighbourhood

 high, I should not be believed ; but it is so. Magnolias of all 

 sorts and sizes, and, as standards, in all directions ; even Mag- 

 nolm fuscata standing out, and flowering most part of the year. 

 Two walls, each of them 230 ft. long, which enclose the flower- 

 garden, covered mostly with M. g, exoniensis, with hundreds of
