Mr. Editor: I should like to see the true variety of this delightful plant more amongst us in this country. I was for several years engaged in business in England, where.I got bit by the " Ftoricultu-raphobia," which, as you know, is a prevalent complaint in-that part of the world. But, upon returning home, and stocking my little greenhouse, I hunted through many nurseries here before I could get the right kind. All the nurserymen have what they call the Indica rubra, but it is not true; nor is it in leaf or flower, anything equal to the correct one. At last I met with it true, at Buist's, at Philadelphia. The flowers are finer, and more abundant, and the leaves at the point, lancet shape, and thick In substance, in the correct plant. In England I found it difficult to keep in health, until I was let into the.secret by one of the two men who introduced it into that country; since that, I have had no trouble, and I think no plant equals it in the early spring. Yours, Americus.

[Will our correspondent oblige us by sending his experiences of this flower? We agree in his admiration of it, and are sure his remarks on its cultivation would be very acceptable to many of our readers. Ed].
