JJ'lmus montana ■phidula, which we have long tried to find the origin of, was, 

 we lately learned from Mr. Booth of Hamburg, found in a bed of seedlings 

 in the Perth Nursery, a year or two after the peace. Mr. Booth purchased 

 the plant, and from it arose the whole stock here and on the Continent. 



Ylex Kquifblium fastigidtmn exists in a garden in the neighbourhood of 

 Edinburgh, near the new cemetery, as well as in a garden in Derby. 



\Hex Aquifolimn pendulum, a very strongly marked variety, has also been 

 lately discovered in Dalkeith Park, and, we believe, will soon be in the trade. 



New Varieties. — Nurserymen should look over their beds of seedlings 

 before they are transplanted, with a view to discovering pendulous varieties 

 and fastigiate varieties, which, probably, every tree in existence is liable to 

 sport into. We have, within the present century, found both of them in the 

 common oak, the Scotch elm, and the common hawthorn ; and one sport in 

 several species, such as the pendulous common ash, sophora, &c. They should 

 also, in the leafing season, look after varieties that come early into leaf, such as 

 the Glastonbury thorn ; in summer, those that sport in their foliage, such as 

 the one-leaved ash, the eagle's claw maple, and the fern-leaved oak ; and, in 

 autumn and winter, those that retain their leaves longer than usual, such as 

 the evergreen privet. The time will probably one day come when every 

 species will have its fastigiate, its pendulous, its early, its late, its variegated- 

 leaved, and its abnormal-leaved, varieties. 



J^dgus antdrctica and hetuloides. — We have lately had an opportunity of 

 seeing these interesting beeches in Kew Gardens. They are in a healthy 

 state, and, we understand, strike from cuttings without difficulty ; so that, 

 thanks to the excellent system now pursued at Kew of distributing and ex- 

 changing with other botanic gardens and with the nurserymen, these trees 

 will soon be as generally diffused as their merits will entitle them to be. (See 

 Sir W. Hooker's Notes on the Botany of the Antarctic Voyage, p. 34.)

 Flower-Garden. By the Conductor. 



(^Continued from p. 373.) 



The design. Jig 100., is a plan of the Roccoco Garden of Baron Hiigel in the 

 neighbourhood of Vienna, mentioned with so much praise in an article on the 

 baron's country residence in our preceding volume, p. 150. For the plan we 

 are indebted to a friend, who procured it at Vienna about a year ago. This 

 gentleman observes on it, that, though the beds did not look so well in reality 

 as they do on paper, from the acute angles of the lobes of the larger masses, 

 and from the inequality of the heights of the flowers with which they were 

 planted at the time he saw it, yet, as it is always supplied with the best kinds of 

 flowers, and kept in the very highest order, it is the admiration of every one. 



a and b are beds, we suppose, of low shrubs ; c, circular bed, separated by 

 a zone of turf, e, from the bed d; f border of turf; g, h, gravel walks ; i, bed 

 with a pedestal and statue in the centre; k, a small oval bed, separated from /, 

 by a zone of turf; m, n, acute-lobed beds on turf; o, p, beds with lobss, ter- 

 minating with less acute points.
