A grand plant, not by any means so abundant as it should be in our gardens, owing to its very distinct and effective appearance. Of course there are positions in the garden where it would be out of place, but there are many others to which it would give additional beauty. We have yet much to learn or appreciate in the arrangement of hardy plants. Here is a plant which may be fittingly arranged in the shrubberies, by the margins of lakes, surrounded (taste would suggest) by dark foliaged subjects, such as the copper beeches or nuts, when the white feathery plumes would be seen to much greater advantage than otherwise disposed. I may say, for the benefit of those unacquainted with the plant, that it grows from 3 to 4 feet high, with large divided foliage, and immense plumes of white flowers, forming when established most conspicuous objects. I lately saw several masses 3 and 4 feet in diameter, and as much high, and nothing could surpass their unique beauty. - T., in Gardeners' Chronicle.
