Your query is a little out of the line of this journal. Refer to Ruskin, who says somewhere, if we are not mistaken, that there is really nothing to deserve admiration in the firing of packets of gunpowder, in the display of stocks of warehouses. But admiration excited by the budding of a flower is a poetical feeling, because it is impossible that this manifestation of spiritual power and vital beauty can ever be enough admired. Mark the distinction.

Eucalyptus

The foreign journals are still discussing the miraculous effects of eucalyptus - at first as a cure for the phylloxera, and now some genius finds it capital in cure of fever. But you must use the right kind - not the latifolius, but the longifoltus.

The Eucalyptus #1

The Eucalyptus globulus, or blue gum tree in California, has a fine representative in a noble tree on the grounds of Gen. Valleho, at Sonoma, Cal. It was but nine years old, and when felled the other day, measured 96 feet from top to roots. Four feet from the roots the trunk was sawed off, and found to be 19 inches in diameter.

Eucalyptus Globulus

The Agricultural Department at Washing-ington has distributed plants of this tree for the purpose of encouraging its culture, more especially in the Southern States.

Eucharis Amazonica

A correspondent of The Garden considers this one of the most valuable of winter flowering plants: not that it usually flowers during the dull season of the year, but it is one of those accommodating plants that may be forced into flower at any time by the use of bottom heat and a little judgment. Their great waxy blooms are well nigh invaluable for bouquets, floral decorations, or for ladies* hair. For the last mentioned purpose they stand unrivaled; Phalaenopsis blooms not even excepted.

Euchroma Coccinea, (Painted Cups.)

The corol of this plant is very insignificant, but it is accompanied by a number of scarlet bracts, which give it a very gay appearance. It is found in dry, poor soils.

Eugene Appert

Medium size; roundish; skin rough; brownish yellow; flesh melting; sweet; perfumed; delicious.

Euonymus Japonicus

This is a splendid evergreen when planted on well drained soil, otherwise the points of the young shoots will be destroyed during winter. The golden and silver variegated are equally hardy, and may be rendered very effective in composition.

Euonymus Or Spindle Tree

This is a class of beautiful evergreen shrubs that prove partially hardy about New York, and are suited for planting in the Southern States; but they can not be depended upon anywhere north.

Euonymus Variegatus

Something like E. japonicus, but with smaller leaves, having a broad central yellowish blotch.

The Eupatorium As A Garden Flower

Mary Tower, in a short floral paper before the same society says: All professional gardeners, and I may say amateurs too, are charmed by the introduction of a white flower which combines the qualities of being a profuse bloomer, hardy and effective in masses. With this fact in view, it seems strange that we so seldom see the eupatorium ageratoides cultivated in our gardens. It is common in all our shady woods, blooming during the latter part of August and far into September. The only objection that can be brought forward is its rank growth, therefore requiring considerable room. I know of no more effective white flower for bouquets and floral ornaments.
