Rhododendron Rollisonii. The flowers of this very handsome hybrid are of 

 a rich crimson-red, with a pink tinge inside, and produced on a close head. It is 

 one of the handsomest of this class of coloured ones, but too tender to withstand 

 the severe winters in the open air, requiring a much warmer situation than 

 R. arboreum.

 Pentandria Monogynia. It is a little pretty-flowering hardy evergreen erect- 

 growing shrub, which blooms very freely in April and May. It will do equally 

 well in the greenhouse, and is beautifully ornamental. The flowers are of a 

 rosy-pink before opening, changing then to a pretty bright light blue. It has 

 bloomed in the greenhouse at the London Horticultural Society's garden. It
