page 190, called Lithospcrmum scdndens, This is likely to lead us young gar¬ 
deners into error and confusion. Limim nmritirmm,, 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 June, 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 leave the old ones in the open air to 
take their chance, , . 
Wishing your work the success it merits, 
I remain, Gentlemen, yours, most respectfully, 
Bury St, Edmunds, Oct. 28, 1831. H. T. 
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 wHh 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 Lophospernmm, See., 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 Magazine. —Gentlemen, in looking over Loudon’s Gardener’s 
Magazine, for October, I find he has some ill-will towards the prosperity of 
your much valued Horticultural Register, which I, along with a score of njy 
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 hack over his own work, he might then find plenty of his 
own, hut he is something like a many more, he can see errors iu other people, hut 
forgets to look at himself. Perhaps you have not examined his lust Magazine 
minutely, or you would have found in page 550, line 10, that he informs his read¬ 
ers something about Spurring 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 I 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 he able, through the medium of your Register, to 
satisfy my friends about this matter, 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. 185,) to delay the framing giving way at 
the angles, in glazing on the above principle, will not he adopted, even if it were 
efficient, (vvhicli it is not,) because the diagonal bars of metal will give the
