Table Decorations. — A correspondent says : 

 Nothing is more useful witn him than the leaves

Double Cinerarias. — The single Cineraria is 

 one of the most beautiful ornaments for rooms 

 or greenhouses in early spring. Our foreign

JVBIV PLANTS. 



Double Bouvardia — 'A. Neuner." — We re- 

 cently noted that a double white Bouvardia had 



been introduced; and we have received a living 



head of flowers from Nanz & Neuner, of Louis- 

 ville, Kentucky. By the courtesy of the firm, 

 we are now enabled to give a representation of 

 the flower. We have not had anything at hand 

 for a long time so beautiful ; and we fancy it will 

 have a run of popularity unexampled in flori- 

 culture.
