i^s) J. McDonald, Pensacola, is thanked for the valuable hints he has ^ 

 \5 communicated in that distant locality. We are very anxious to ob- w 

 tain such information as will guide us in our efforts to make our peri- J? 

 odical a general guide to Horticulture throughout the Union. Florida, 

 we know is rich in indigenous plants. We have received a beautiful 

 Sarracenia, a Mimosa, and we believe Gelsemium nitidum, or Caro- 

 lina jasmine, of the latter only a single flower was forwarded without 

 foliage — being a practical man and interested in scientific botany you 

 could do much for the promotion of the science there. W 7 e stated 

 in July last, that our periodical would circulate from Canada to 

 Florida, and such is now the case. 



Rev. J. SI. S., Kenansville, Duplin County, N. C. We shall re- 

 ceive with thanks the plant of your seedling Rose, and shall have it 

 tested carefully. Our subscription for the ensuing volume is to be $2. 

 We will furnish you with back numbers from August, and ;idd your 

 name to our new list. A copy is allowed gratis to all who obtain 10 

 subscribers. 



Hon. M. P. Wiider's favor has been received. Also, that of Jas. 

 S. Negley, Pittsburgh Mrs. T. P. D. ; Bernard Fox, Cambridge Port, 

 Mass ; Wm. Chorlton, Staten Island. 



Louis Neumann, Jardin des Plantes, Paris. We shall comply with 

 your request as to native plants. W T e are in the region of the Sar- 

 racenia, Goody era, Chimaphila, Podophyllum, and many other inter- 

 esting plants, and shall be happy to exchange with you. 



Geo. McHattie is thanked for the list of subscribers from Pitts- 

 burg. We shall be obliged by his acting as agent there. 



L. Lutterloh's favor has been duly received — the back numbers 1, 

 2, and 3, are out of print. W r e u ould gladly reprint them if we 

 could obtain a sufficient number of subscribers to cover the expenses 

 — we have opened a list for that purpose. 



As much expense is incurred in collecting subscriptions, we have 

 decided on charging $2 50 to all subscribers not paying in advance, 

 as the low price of the periodical requires us to spare expenses of this 

 kind. 



Terms $2 a year in advance — $2 50 at the end of the year. One 

 copv will be supplied gratis to any one forwarding ten subscriptions 

 — 10 per cent. 



A correspondent wishes to hear something on the cultivation of the 

 rose, and what are the best perpetual sorts. We will give it in our 

 next number if we have room.

 early date.
