Mr. E. S. Miller, Wading River, N. Y., writes: " Seeing your note on the flowering of C. Mac-donaldii in Kansas and Virginia about the same date, June 6th, I thought it of interest to note that mine was flowering in another section of the country. Two flowers opened on the 9th of June, two on the 10th, one on the 11th, and others about a week later. Some of the flowers remained fully expanded until the following day as late as 8 or 9 o'clock, though these did not open till evening, while those which closed early, opened early, before dark".

[Singularly enough, a plant of the Night-blooming Cereus that had already bloomed in June, under the observation of the writer, had another flower open on the 4th of August. - Ed. G. M].
