'96 No. of the Horticulturist, your query as to why more of your readers do not take more interest in your journal by writing for it. I have for some time wondered whether you cared to have any notes of experience from your read- ers or not, and therefore to show you my appreciation of your Journal, beg to send you a photograph of a view in the greenhouse here during chrysanthemum time ; our local artist failed to get a view of the entire length of the house which contained some hundreds of these lovely flowers Out of some thirty varieties the ones principally seen in the picture are Ivory, Nircus, Queen, V. H. Hollock, house This plant belongs to a class of (lolden Weddmg, Mutual Friend, Thos. ornamental plants, trees and shrubs, called Datura, which name is usually given to the annual species. The shrubby ones are known as Brugman- sias. This one is a greenhouse shrub from seven to ten feet high, which was introduced into England from Peru in '7',v We ap])end a letter, which accom- panied the photot;ra()hs : Emerson, Ada .Spaulding and Louis Bonheur Should you care to have it I would be very glad to give you some of the methods followed by me in growing these flowers to be published in some future issue.
