T/ic Xtw Chinese Potato {Dioscorea latatan) — is advertised at fifty cents per tuber, or 

 fifty dollars per one hnndrcd. It sconis to attract considerable atteutic^n. Dr. Lindley 

 regards it as likely to proTO valuable for garden cultivation. It will no doubt be tested

 distillation instead of grain, and containing a large amount of fibre that may be employed 

 in the manufacture of paper.

Dahlias. — W. 0. Wilson, Esq., of Baltimore, who has always one of the best private 

 collections of Dahlias in America, writes us as follows : 



"The following were the best Dahlias in this latitude last season, and some of them were fine 

 the previous year: 



1. Reine des Beiges. "7. Yictorie. 13. Miss "Ward. 



2. Mrs. Hansard. 8. Cote d' Or. 14. Duchess of Kent.

C, Hyppolite. 12. Madam Zahler. 18. Forget me not. 



These were the best of 120 varieties. The first five are unequallod as fancy flowers ; the 6th, 

 '7th, and 8th are splendid self-colored. The Tth is remarkable for its full and perfect form; 

 color, a rich crimson marroon." 



"We can add our testimony in favor of all except Nos. 1, o, 6, 7, 8, and 9, Avhich we have 

 not seen, but we ask for no better recommendation than that of Mr. "Wilson. 



Xew Plants. — Among the recent introductions to piiblic and private collections of 

 plants in this country, are to be found ITexaeentris lutea^ Bahamina JerdoniiP, Maranta 

 WarseicicJ:zii, Azalea narcissijlora, and many others not generally distributed, but the 

 above are new to us here. S. 



A Pohtable Grist Mill. — "We have received a circular setting forth the excellence of 

 " Felton's Portable Grist Mill," patented Jan. 2, 1855. It is represented as being " well 

 adapted to grinding "Wheat, Corn, Oats, Eye, Buckwheat, &c., and may be driven by steani, 

 wind, water, or horse i)Ower, doing the work with great rapidity and perfection, grinding 

 from five to eight bushels of corn meal, and from ten to twelve bushels of feed per hour, 

 with less than two-horse power." "We ftmcy that such a mill as this is described to be, 

 would be of great service to farmers, and others who have a large number of horses, or 

 farm stock, to feed. "We have felt the want of such a thing ourselves to prepare 

 feed, and are inclined to give this a trial.
