I can quite confirm D. T.'s remarks on the above plant in your November issue, p. 508, as being the most beautiful and ornamental Saxifrage thai; we have at present. I have some plants of it on a rockery here, and they have been the admiration of every one that has seen them. It will be a grand acquisition to our flower-garden when we can get a good stock of it, either for carpet-beds, long lines, or edgings to beds. What a grand effect it would produce planted as an edging to beds in the same way as we use Echeveria secunda glauca or Sempervivuni Californicum, or as any one has seen them used at Battersea or Hyde Park by Mr Gibson ! only one row would do in place of two, as is generally necessary in the case of the Echeveria and Sempervivum. I should feel obliged if D. T. would let us know the quickest way to get a stock of it. I have used S. cotyledon this season, which looks very pretty, but not nearly equal to S. longifolia. J.
