THE FLORIST. 
Montserrat of Lancashire and Yorkshire growers, and the Smooth¬ 
leaved Cayenne. The former grows somewhat tall, shows fruit freely, 
but the fruit is a month longer in ripening than either the Queen or 
Providence; the colour is a dark orange when ripe, and the flavour 
very first-rate; it rarely exceeds 4lbs. in weight, but swells well and 
is of good flavour during winter, and as it is rather later in fruiting 
than the Queen it is usually kept back for supplying the winter and 
spring demand. There is a new Jamaica—worthless. The Smooth 
Cayenne is a rather recent importation from France. It has many of 
the good properties of the Jamaica; the leaves, however, are (as its 
name implies) spineless, the plants grow thick and spreading, the fruit 
attains a large size, swells nearly equally ps well in the winter as in 
the summer, and is very high flavoured ; this is a very valuable kind. 
There is too a Prickly-leaved Cayenne—a very different Pine from the 
former, independent of the spines on its leaves. This is one of the 
handsomest of Pines, particularly if the flowers set well, when the fruit 
is very regular and handsome; it is a tall growing Pine, with large 
fruit, frequently 6lbs. and 7 lbs.; strange to say, the best fruits obtained 
from this variety are those which bloom in the autumn and ripen in the 
spring—in the summer it is very liable to crack at the base of the 
fruit. This Pine is more acid than any other I know; it need not be 
grown extensively. We confine'our choice, then, to the Providence, 
Kipley Queen, Black Jamaica, and Smooth Cayenne.

THE BECTORY FLOWER GARDEN, STANTON, 
ST. QUINTIN, WILTS. 
Having recently visited the flower garden at this place, the residence 
of the Rev. C. Grey Cotes, we were so much struck with its general 
arrangement and effect, that we asked permission to give a plan of the 
garden and list of plants employed in the Florist, a request at once 
acceded to by the esteemed proprietor and his amiable lady, whose 
love of and fine taste for gardening, aided by the perseverance and 
good management of Mr. Hatherall, their gardener, have been the 
means of collecting round their residence one of the gayest assemblages 
of flowers perhaps ever seen. 
We are the more anxious to present our readers with the information 
this garden conveys, from the conclusion arrived at by ourselves (and, 
indeed, by all who have seen it) that, so far as regards arrangement of 
colour, and attention to habit, it can hardly be improved, if improved 
at all; ,and for the additional reason, that lists of what are found by 
experience to be really good and effective plants, when massed together 
and arranged agreeably with the law which governs the distribution of 
colours, so as to form a perfect combination, afford a much more valuable 
kind of information than speculative discussions on systems of 
arrangement, which, however ingenious they may be, and pleasing to 
the eye, on paper, too frequently Tail when brought to the actual test of 
experience. It will be seen by a reference to the list of plants appended.
