Accounts reach us from all parts of the country of the
unusual mildness of the season, and there is some nasal
to hope that it will now be continued. It is much to be
desir, d that observant horticulturists have not allowed,the
last two or three months pass without collecting all, the facts
within their own observation relative to the state of the
atmosphere and the premature developement of vege'
tation.
There are many curious facts which are well worthy 0f
remark, and we regret that want of time has prevented
our making personal observations. One thing, bowever.r,
we have noticed, and that is, that no withstanding ts''
mildness of the season, the common primrose is not in 5o
forward a state as it frequently is in more severe season,'
whilst the double garden varieties are much more au•
lanced than ugual. Why is this ?

• _ _ _
There is nothing of particular interest in the Mr'
ticultural world except the publication of the nel
series of the recently-discovered Rhododendrons
the Sikkim Himalaya, by Dr. Hooker. It vr, s Pe'r
Hailed yesterday by Messrs. Reeve and 13,001
and is said to be even more carefully got up
the first series, of which ;C. was said that no
trated work had thall
• iiver issued from the British press Ow"
.4, it In all particulars. Mrs. Judith Sowerby has coil'
menced a new volume of the reissue of the inestimable
" English Botany," for which we can hardy sufficientlf
thank her; it places an almost unattainable book within
the reach of every student. Mr. B. Maund has all°
followed in the same wise course, and the " Botante
Garden is now reappearing in cheap monthly parts, at the
Horticultural Society,
Mr. Wells, gardener to E. Husseyi Esq., of Scottie,'
Castle, Larnberhurst, exhibited for the first time in thig
country two of the new Sikkim Himalayan Rhododerl:
drons, seeds of which have been so pkntitully distributed
among cultivators in this country. In consequence of the
very beautiful representations of some of those Rhodo'
dendrons, published by Sir William Hooker, it is antler'
pated that many magnificent sorts will be discover,.
among them, and, as there appears to be considerably
variety among the seedlings, both in appearance and con:
stitution, this will in all probability be the fact; but On;
all will not be handsome, nor possibly even desirable, Wro
proved by the plants shown. They consisted of a Ha'
Alpine species with scurfy leaves, and small pale !emelt:
coloured flowers, which possessed a scent something like
that of the buds of the Balsam Poplar. In general apPeat'
ance the plants resembled the ferruginous Rhododendron
of our gardens ; but at present they are inferior in hea'
to that species.—Mr. Cole, gr. to H. Collyer, E (1•1
Dartford, exhibited a young and very healthy specitnee"
the pale variety of the charming Rhododendron javal;
cum. for which a certificate of merit was awarded.
Cole finds that the best way of managing this fine spevele
is to grow it quickly in the stove, until it has assumed tllO
form of a good-sized bush ; after which he thinks it W
succeed in a greenhouse, treated like an Indian Azalea."'
Mr. Glendinning, of the Chiswick Nursery, TurnhaT;
green, sent a very promising greenhouse plant, in
th°
shape of a Labichea, from Swan River. It resembled a
Willow-leaved Heimia, but the flowers wore larger slif
handsomer than those of that plant. A certificate 0
merit was awarded it.

DEPARTURE OF THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK BY ae

of the most peculiar feats in aerostation took ulnalf:b..

of hams, fowls, pheasants, partridges, breadstuffs,

The event being strictly private the event was a surprise,ier
the inhabitants of the vicinity. Thirteen tried o_ll3,
pigeons were placed in the car for the purpose of,curee

cisely at 12 o'clock his highness, accompanied by liecl
Charles Green, stepped into the car. Mr. Green Pg„.oo
the liberating-iron, and the machine arose. At the vtr
of the ascent the wind was blowing from N.W. "ter
The ballast carried was 13 cwt., with air vessels, v".tig
drags, and gutta percha lines. The balloon, on arriv.lo,
at a sufficient altitude, took a south-easterly directs,
passing over the counties of Surrey and Kent in the ari
rection of the continent. The foregoing particulerl.oo,
taken from the Times of Wednesday, but we learn de'
the London journals of Thurs lay that the aeronauts ii,a
scended at Gravesend, the duke having found the Ilich
suddenly become adverse to the particular course sca
he meant to take. He is, however, still determine silt
carry out his intention, and will, it is said, ascend "
as soon as the wind becomes favourable.

upwards of twelve months the poor lands of 1311,rdiy
