LITERATURE.

EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER,

Oft OINAMENTAG FLOWRR•UARDRN AND SIIDDISDNRIr.

(Continued by Professor Lindley.)
No. VII. of Vol. 3, New Series.

Thia work not only maintains the high reputation
it has attained in the estimation of botanists, but in
the hands of Mr. Lindley appears to be rendered
more than ordinarily interesting and instructive. The
first subject of the 'present mon►h's number, " Ribes
S'arkguineuni," (or purple-flowered currant), though
known, has never been grown in this country, and
is now likely to become a universal favourite. It is
a shrub of the most ornamental character, and is in-
ferior in beauty to no plant yet in cultivation. It is
as hardy as the common currant of the gardens,
and bears a vast profusion of bunches of the most
lovely purplish-red flowers, during the end of April
and beginning of May, remaining in perfection full
three weeks. The fruit is gratefully pleasant, in-
creased readily by cuttings, and requiring no parti-
cular management. The only points that appear to
demand attention being, that it should be planted in
dry situations, but not in peat soil, as it is apt to go
off in swampy places, and peat has been found in-
jurious to it. The whole of the remarks contained
in this article are so true, that we cannot forego the
satisfaction of extracting the following sentences,
though, from our limited space, to the exclusion of
the remaining contents of the number This
species was sent by Mr. Douglas to the liorticul-
lurid Society ; and, of such importance do we con-
sider it to the embellishment of our gardens, that, if
the expense incurred by the Horticulttiral Society
in Mr. Douglas's voyage had been attended with no
other result than the introduction of this species,
there would have been no ground for dissatisfaction.
It is not the number of objects that a public body
or en individual accomplishts that creates a claim to
public gratitude, so much as their utility ; and,
this view the gentleman who brought the first live
plant of the now common Chine Rose to England
deserves his country's gratitude in a greater degree
than all the collectors who sent plants to Kew for
the next twenty years." The remaining seven sub-
jects aro of various interest, but all handsome, parti-
cularly " Pta.ox Specie sa and ACsct♦ /undo."
