SCROPHULARIN*. D1DYNAMIA ANG IOSPERM I A. 



This very showy variety was raised in the nursery of Mr. Lowe of Clapton 

 near London. It is from impregnation between M. cardinalis, and M. ro- 

 seus being- sown, the present variety was one of them. The habit ot the 

 plant approaches that ot the vigorous cardinalis. The flowers that of roseus 

 but they are much larger, and of a much finer rosy-red colour, than any we 

 Lave seen produced by the most vigorous of roseus. It is very showy, grow- 

 ing three feet high, and we think the finest kind in cultivation in the coun- 

 try. It deserves a place in every flower garden or greenhouse.
