the same family that is hke to add to the 

 interest, and extend the variety of so beauti- 

 ful a conservatory stove plant. 



And we have in the illustration before us, 

 which we transfer for the eye of our reader, 

 a plant which is Hkely to be as popular in its 

 way, as either the beautiful I. amboynensis 

 or I. javanica were in their way. The Ixora 

 Williamsii is a garden hybrid partaking 

 of the growth of I. Amboynensis, but 

 assuming as it gets older somewhat the style 

 of I. Griffithii. It differs from both these 

 sorts, in having flowers of what has not been 

 inaptly described as of the hue of reddish 



salmon, and forming a head of grand size, 

 vying with the most popular in that respect, 

 as well as taking rank as a first sort for its 

 free flowering properties. No one who cares 

 for variety will long be without I. "Williamsii 

 — a capital fellow for the pure white and 

 lovely I. Colei. To flower any of the family 

 properly, the plants should be allowed to 

 grow rampantly, tying the branches down 

 into position as soon as the flower umbels are 

 formed. Great attention is needed to keep 

 under the white Coecus, which multiplies so 

 rapidly Avhere cleanliness is not fully main- 

 tained.

AMATEURS are often troubled, when re- 

 potting favourite plants, to find that noth- 

 ing but a large amount of force can cause the

 flower, a little rough handling will do no
