Mr. F. .A Miller, of the firm of Mil- ler & Sievers, will in a few days depart for the East and Europe, for the pur- l^ose of visiting and examining all the leading nurseries and public gardens. The object of his visit is the introduc- tion into California of all plants, orna- mental as well as useful, which may come favorably to his notice and which may be adapted to this coast.
