INGA PULCHERRIMA. 



Tins very handsome flowering plant is a native of Mexico, requiring . 

 in this country to be grown in a warm greenhouse. It flourishes 

 freely in equal portions of sandy peat, loam, and well-rotted leaf 

 mould, having a liberal drainage. It has bloomed freely in the col- 

 lection of Mr. Jackson of Kingston Nursery, and who has exhibited 

 pretty specimens of it. It is easy of culture, very ornamental, and 

 interesting, and deserves to be grown wherever practicable. Also, 

 may be procured at a cheap price.

HlNDSIA VIOLACEA. PoRCELAIN-BLUE-FLOWERED. 



This very handsome flowering greenhouse plant is closely allied to 

 the Rondeletias, and was received from Brazil by Messrs. Veitch's 

 of Exeter, who have exhibited specimens at the London shows. It is 

 very easy of cultivation, growing freely and blooming profusely. It 

 deserves to be grown in every greenhouse, the rich blue flowers being 

 highly ornamental.
