long, the branches extend more than six feet, and the leaves 

 one foot two inches by one foot six inches. 



Hernandia sonora, turned out in March, has shot two feet, 

 the leaves are one foot four inches long by one foot across ; 

 the leaf stalk one foot long, and the red centre of the disk 

 very vivid, contrasting beautifully with the rich green of the 

 rest of the leaf. 



Crinum amabile, a last year's sucker, the leaves are now 

 four feet two inches long, and five inches in width. 



Canna Nepalensis, five feet eight inches high, flowered 

 continually until I cut it away to make room for other plants. 

 It had thrown up numerous suckers, all flowering. 



Caladium odorum, planted out in March, in a dormant 

 state, has its leafstalks three feet ten inches high, the leaves 

 being one foot five inches long and the same across. 



Barringtonia speciosa, was sent me last autumn in a dor- 

 mant state, it was kept in a Pine stove, but I ventured to 

 turn it out, seeing how well every plant succeeded; it 

 has made fresh leaves, looks very healthy, and is pushing 

 vigorously. 



Stachytarpheta mutabilis, was put out a mere stake, about 

 two feet six inches high, it has made shoots five feet long, 

 from which proceed side shoots, every one terminated by a 

 spike of flowers, from one foot seven inches long to about a 

 foot. 



Clerodendrum infortunatim, is quite a weed, throwing up 

 suckers all over the bed, it has been cut down, and has again 

 sent up shoots three feet six inches high ; the leaves one foot 

 two inches long, and a foot wide, it is now shewing flower. 

 Will prove a troublesome plant, and must be eradicated.
