Conqueror oe the World. — A seeedling raised by Mr. P. Stein, 

 nurseryman, Highgate, London, of superior character and novel 

 colour, being a pale sulphur, delicately and regularly laced with rosy 

 pink. It was exhibited and obtained prizes at Metropolitan, Bir- 

 mingham, Sunbury, Barnet, Wanstead, and other exhibitions. The 

 plant is of dwarf and excellent habits. 



Burnham Hero. — Raised by F. H. Church, Esq., of Burnham 

 Market, the stock of which we have purchased. It is of a very per- 

 fect and uniform shape, rising well in the centre, which is arranged 

 exceedingly regular. We have no doubt of its becoming a very 

 popular rluwer. 



Rival Revenge.— Was raised by Mr. W. Cox, florist, Lark-hall 

 Lane, Clapham, and purchased by us. It is in every respect a 

 superb show /lower, and will be found an accpiisition to the most select 

 collection. It is only during a period of about fifteen years that u 

 peculiar interest became manifested in the cultivation of the Dahlia ;
