[This article should have appeared in our number for December, 
but we could not find room for it. Since receiving it we have seen the 
orchard-house at Stansted, which is a substantial and well-built 
structure, by far the best we have seen. Mr. T. informed us that 
Peaches and Nectarines, when planted out, produce very fine fruit, of 
excellent quality; but the fruit from trees in pots is not of such 
good quality. Pears and Plums do particularly well there, and we 
saw specimens of the Hawthorn den and Mannington Pearmain Apples 
ripened there, exceedingly fine and handsome fruit, of admirable 
quality. There can be no question that orchard-houses are valuable 
addenda to large gardens ; not so much for Peaches and Nectarines (as 
glass-covered walls and Peach-houses abound) as for obtaining Pears, 
Plums, Apples, &c., in such perfection for the dessert table, and 
ensuring a crop. The trees in the Stansted orchard-house bore 
excellent crops last season, and promise well for next.— Ed.] 
NEW PLANTS OF 1856. 
The new plants which have been either introduced or first-flowered, or 
more especially brought under notice in the course of the year just 
closed, are both numerous and varied, and comprise many choice 
additions to our collections. We may here especially allude to a few of 
the more important. 
To the list of hardy annuals, the real Collinsia verna, which has been
