Caladlum rqfale^ witli ovato-sagittate leaves, marked \\'ith irregular pale 

 ro^e-coloured patches; and C. BeUeymd^ one of the best of the varie- 

 gated Caladiuins, but now well known. 



Yucca StoJcesix, a green and yellow form, closely resembling quadrkolor ; 

 and Y. alba spica^ a narrow-leaved sort, like angusiifdia, with thread- 

 margined leaves. 



From Mr. CniLVERS, gardener to F. J, E. Jervoise^ Esq., Herriard Park : 



Pclavfjonmm Mrs, Jervoise, Mr, Jervoise, and Cloth of Gold, three golden- 

 leaved varietiesj which were not considered to possess any particular 

 merit beyond similar kinds already in general cultivation. They 

 were accomjmnied by the following particulars : — 



Mrs, Ja'voisc : — Raised by G, Wall, late gardener to F. J, E. Jervoise, 

 Esq., of Herriard Park; seed saved in 1815 from Bn(jhton Iltro^ 

 crossed by Tom Thumb ; somi February, 1846. Mr. Jervoise: — 

 Raised by G. Wall, in 1847; seed saved from J)/v*5, Jervoise^ crossed 

 with Brigldoii Ilero ; sown in 1848; a robust grower. These two 

 Geraniums had been always grown in the greenhouse, and were 

 very difficult to strike from. They were not of such a bright 

 yellow, nor thought much of till 1856, when one of each sort was 

 turned out, and proved to stand the out-door treatment, the leaves 

 becoming of a bright golden colour. Since that time they have been 

 bedded at Herriard Park, and proved to be hardy, attractive, and 

 pleasing varieties. This year we have three beds of them, besido 

 vases and tall plants. Cloth of Gold, a seedling, raised from Mrs. 

 Jervoise, by Wm. Chilvers, in 1861, from seed saved in 1S60. This 

 is consequently the first year in which it has been used for bedding. 



From Mr. Puttick, Mill Hill Nursery, Acton : 



Fiiclisia fioribunda, a light-flowered sort, with red corolla^ a free 

 bloomer, but not superior to others in cultivation. 



From Mr. R Wabd, Foxhall Road, Ipswich : 



Rose Bijoiiy described as being raised from Paul Bupuy crossed with 

 Cardincd PafHzzif and as being hardy, blooming freely, and resisting 

 mildew, Mrs. Ward, a variety raised from Ercque de Ntmes crossed 

 with Pauline Lanztztur, of robust but close habit, hardy, and 

 blooming freely, so as to be well adapted for bedding. Ipswich Gem 

 obtained from Paul Dupuy, and described as the hardiest Rose ever 

 raised, never being attacked by mildew or blight, and as being 

 remarkable for freeness of growth and bloom. They were all of 

 different shades of rosy crimson, and were pretty double sorts, but 

 without any striking merit in the flowers.
