 '' Utterly destroyed, though it has 

 withstood the last two or three 

 winters without any protection; 

 the beautiful aster-like flowers 

 of this species are much more 

 lasting, profuse, and brilliant 

 white than the above, and quite 

 deserving of a wall. 



Perfectly hardy and uninjured. 



A good deal injured and retarded, 

 and being weakened, has event- 

 ually succumbed to the cold wet 

 summer, but uninjured on or- 

 dinary winters. Though said to 

 be an Australian plant, it was 

 raised from seed brought home 

 from the southern part of New 

 Zealand.

CORRECTION. 



In looking over the list, I observe that I have inadvertently written Cisttis 

 cypriiis (No. 54) instead of Cistus ladaniferiis — a native of Spain. I have 

 also omitted to mention Genista cctiicjisis — a native of Sicily — which was 

 quite uninjured, and is well worth growing.
