A DUBLIN GARDEN IN WINTER.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—The list of flowers at present in bloom given by Rev. 0. Palmes in last week's Spectator is so interesting I am impelled to respond by sending a list of flowers and flowering shrubs blossoming in my garden at present. It would be interesting if other correspondents would send lists from Devon and Cornwall.

Forty-four kinds in all.—I am, Sir, &c.,
