page 190, called Lit/i.otspcnnilm scdndens. This is likely to lead us young gar- 
deners into error and confusion. Lbmm nmrttbmim, in p. 189, is classed 
among the hardy plants, while on the following page it is among the inhabi- 
tants of the greenhouse: .it is neither , for it is a frame plant. That it will 
bear the severity of some winters, I am aware; I am also certain that it is 
often-killed in winter, unless it has a slight protection. My method with it 
is, to strike cuttings in Juhe, put them singly in small pots in July, shelter 
them in a cold frame all winter, and then turn them in the open borders in 
spring , strike more young plants, and leare the- 0ld,-0oes in the open air to 
take their chance. -fSl^m ?»-*

Answer to H. T. — Our Correspondent has found so much to complain of, 
that it becomes necessary for us to say a word or two in explanation. The 
first complaint is, that we have introduced remarks on the Erection of La- 
bourers' Cottages : we conceive our Correspondent cannot have read the title- 
page of our work wi^h sufficient attention, or he would not have been so 
surprised on observing "Rural Affairs" introduced. — We refer him to it, and 
to the preface of the work for an answer. We stand convicted of the errors in 
spelling the names of plants, although our Correspondent's corrections are 
ill-placed, with regard to Lop/iospermum, &c., which he will observe by refer- 
ring to a catalogue of plants; however, we will endeavour to prevent it as 
much as possible for the future. The distance we are from our printers, and 
the lateness of the month when we receive the Nursery Lists, (sometimes the 
24th or 25th,) have in a great degree caused such errors. Cond. 
Gardener's M.vgazine. — Gentlemen, in looking over Loudon's Gardener's 
Magazine, for October, I find lie has some ill-will towards the prosperity of 
your much valued Horticultural Register, which I, along with a score of my 
neighbours, think a most excellent and cheap periodical ; and I believe, is gen- 
erally thought so, by most eminent Horticulturalists. Mr. Loudon states that 
you have committed great errors which are too numerous to mention ; now per- 
haps, was he to look back over his own work, he might then find plenty of his 
own, but he is something like a many more, he can see errors iu other people, but 
forgets to look at himself. Perhaps yon have not examined his last Magazine 
minutely, or you would have found in page .550, line 10, that he informs his read- 
ers something about Sj)7<rrii)o- in Pines : I should suppose this is something 
new. Many people have called on me, to ask if I knew anything of the method, 
the only answer I could give them was, that 1 had never heard of it before. As I 
have no communication with Mr. L., perhaps you would be so good as to make 
enquiries for me, so that I may be able, through the medium of your Register, to 
satisfy my friends about this mattei-, should they make any further enquiries. 
I am. Gentlemen, your well-wisher,

Hothouse Glazing — Gentlemen, The expedient of your Correspondent J. D., 
(Horticultural Register, No. 4, p. ISS,) to delay the framing giving way at 
the ano-lesj in glazing on the above principle, will not be adopted, even if it were 
efficient, (which it is not,) because the diagonal burs of metal will give the
