extacy inspired by the acquisition of another favour, 
dispensed by the bountiful dispenser of all. Every 
new plant is received as a new and unthought-of 
gift, and carries with it all its consequent delight. 
The Nuttallia papaver is, indeed, a very splendid 
accession to our gardens, and we have not the least 
doubt but it will be received as an inhabitant, and 
not a visitant only. It is at present, so much a 
stranger, that we scarcely can offer any certain rules 
of management. It appears, however, to be of very 
easy culture, when grown in pots, in a mixture of 
loam, peat, and sand ; in which it will flower freely, 
from July through the autumn. It produces sev- 
eral flowering stems from the crown of the root, and 
may be divided, and thereby increased, with facili- 
ty ; which cannot be effected with the other species 
of this genus. 
There can be no doubt but plants turned into the 
borders in the spring, will flower in great luxuriance 
during a great part of the summer, and also perfect 
seeds if artificially fertilized. Till its habits and 
powers of resisting cold are thoroughly ascertained 
by experience, it will of course be prudent to give 
it a little protection against frosty weather. It ap- 
pears, notw ithstanding, to be hardy, and it may be 
hoped will prove so; still its habitat would lead us 
to suspect that it is not fully proof against the in- 
clemency, or rather variably, of our climate. It 
would be advantageous, in several respects, if for- 
eign collectors would register both the latitude and 
altitude of the native situation of every new ly-discov- 
ered plant. As men of ability are engaged in this 
pursuit, such advantage is of easy attainment.
