LOWERS IN SEASON.—We have received from 
Pentillie Castle, Cornwall, where Mr. T, Јонмѕом is 
gardener to Colonel A. CoryTon, some exceptionally 
robust flowering shoots of the lovely and fragrant 
greenhouse plant Luculia gratissima, Usually, the 
plant is not easy of cultivation, and such heads of 
flower as sent are very rarely s een. A: size — 
reminded us of large-flowere 
Hydrangeas. From the appearance of pri кеен we 
conclude that the plant has been grown in a border 
in a cool greenhouse, but in such a locality it would 
probably succeed under the shelter of an outside wall,
