Some op the Handsome Plants of China. — « Ah, you have come 

 back ! " " Are you ?" " How did the plants get home ?" " Were they 

 much admired in England ?" were the questions which were rapidly put to 

 me by the old nurseryman and his sons ; at the same time they brought a 

 chair, and asked me to sit down under the awning of the cottage. I told 

 them that most of them had arrived safely in England, and that they had 

 been greatly admired. This garden contains many of the beautiful plants 

 introduced by the Horticultural Society of London, from 1843 to 1846.
