perhaps stand next as a splendid thing for 

 cut, blooms; it is natui-ally incurved, and 

 will certainly make a beautiful specimen 

 plant. Ambrosia and Pandora are some- 

 what alike, and botli are nov.d in colour; 

 both are of first-class excellence, but one 

 will be sufficient where but a limited 

 number of new varieties are grown. Among 

 the other largo flowers, we can reconrnund 

 Carautacus, GoMen Hermine (now well 

 known), Penelope, Queen of Whites, now 

 to be iiad time and permanent in its cha- 

 racter. Of the new pompones. Calliope, 

 an anemone ruby red, will prove good for 

 specimens; Diana, a charming white, very 

 late, and invaluable for the conservatory, 

 and equal to the best exhibition kinds if it 

 can be got out in time; Florence, a lively 

 flower, and a tremendous bloomer ; Galatea, 

 fine form, and che--rful; Princess Alice, a 

 rich and eS^ective flower to ijrow witli a set 

 for high colour ; Little Gem, a delicate 

 fancy flower, late in blooming and in every 

 respecc an advance in a desirable direction 

 Of the remainder wa must wait another 

 season to off^er any distinct opinion.
