46 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



Alttra, meria acutifolia, and A hirtella. We saw plants of thes« two fine 

 species growing against a south aspected wall, in Mr. Young's, Epsom Nur- 

 sery, which under his skilful management had, in one season we understood, 

 reached the height of nine feet, having numerous branches, and bearing a 

 rast prolusion of floweis, The appearance was most beautiful, and 

 the plan deserves a trial in every tiower garden possessing the advan- 

 tages. 



Primula sjVnsw. Mr. Henderson of Pine Apple Nursery, has two varieties 

 of Chinese Primrose with double blossoms, one has tiowers of a cream 

 colour, the other is of a pale rosy lilac colour ; both kinds are very 

 pretty. 



Jpomea Nova spec. We have had plants of a new Bpecies in our possession 

 for some time, but it has not bloomed with us yet. It was sent us as being 

 a new species of Rhodochiton. We observed plants of the same with Mr. 

 Lowe, and Mr. Young, but it had not bloomed with those (,'entlenien, the 

 former informed us it had recently flowered at Lady Grenvilles, Drop- 

 more, and on enquiry we find it turns out to be a fine species of Ipomea, hav- 

 ing flowers of a fine rose colour, and growing and blooming freely in the 

 open air during the summer. The plant will doubtless be very ornamental 

 to train against a wall, trellis, or other support, as wire frame work, &o. 



A LIST OF ANNUAL FLOWERS. 



We have recently endeavoured to obtain information from the various nur- 

 serymen and seedsmen, respecting the kinds of annuals which they now offer 

 for sale, and we have arranged them under three divisions, viz.* hardy 

 halfhardy, and tender. We hope the lists will be useful to our readers, af- 

 fording facilities iu makiug a selection for any desirable period of the 

 blooming, colour of flowers, height of the plant, &c.
