17. Rhododendron flavum; var. coronarium.; Garland 

 Flowered Rose Bay. Synonym, Azalea ponlica, var. This is a very 

 profuse, and showy flowering variety, which has been introduced 

 from Holland. It is by far the handsomest of the yellow blossomed 

 kinds. The flowers are produced in large heads, each having fifty 

 or more upon it, and they are of a fine deep yellow. Mr. Knight of 

 Chelsea, possesses this splendid variety.

 nial, and a native of Siberia, from whence it was introduced in 1816.

 produces numerous spikes of fine blue flowers, which are very showy.

New Pansy, &c, — We have been very much pleased with a seed 

 ling Pansy, raised by Mr. Barratt, Nurseryman, Wakefield, named 

 Pearson Walton. It is of a most splendid puce, as its ground co- 

 lour. The fine colour and shape of the flower render it deservedly 

 admirable. We are glad too to find that associated vvi h it, is the 

 name of a gentleman who is not only an ardent lover of Floriculture, 

 &c. but equally an encourager of the same. Mr. Barratt, we saw, 

 possesses a superior kind of Ribes, named R. coccinea, which far 

 surpasses in colour the beautiful R. sanguineus. Conductor.
