THE GREEN-HOUSE, 



In addition to the above, which are plants of known 

 beauty, we would recommend for the conservatory, 

 as for the green-house, some of the newly introduced 

 plants which have not yet flowered or been named. 

 Such plants are calculated to excite great interest, 

 from the circumstance of their being entire strangers ; 

 and when any such plant happens to flower for the 

 first time in Britain, in our garden, there is some 

 satisfaction in seeing the circumstance noticed in the 

 botanical works where it may be figured, described, 

 and named.

 obtained from the public nurseries about London ; 

 the collectors whom these enlightened and spirited 

 cultivators maintain in Australasia, and other parts, 

 having been singularly successful. Mr. Tate of the 

 Sloane-street Nursery has many of the new plants 

 brought from Mexico by Mr. Bullock : Messrs. 

 Brooks have imported a number of novelties : Messrs. 

 Loddiges receive the contributions of Protestant 

 Missionaries from every quarter of the world ; and in 

 short, in the present day, such is the taste for botany 

 and gardening, that almost every Nurseryman has 

 something which nobody has but himself.
