Petunia Nixenii. This very strikingly beautiful Petunia, which we ob- 

 tained last Autumn, and now offer, is in our Catalogue of new plants. 

 Unlike all the previous varieties which had been denominated striped, 

 but which, in fact, are only diversified by usual veins proceeding 

 from the throat or tube of the flower outwards, in this kind they are 

 distinct, and proceed from the edge of the corolla inwards. It is a 

 real striped variety, and when in profuse bloom has a very beautiful 

 effect. It is true to its character, whether grown in a greenhouse, 

 &c, or the open border. Having thus obtained a real striped kind 

 by impregnation with others, a most beautiful new race will now be 

 obtained. 



Ipom^a Hardingii. This new and fine variety was raised between 

 I. rubro coerulea and I. Horsfallii, by Mr. Harding, gardener to H. 

 Bevan, Esq., of Glynn Garth, near Beaumaris. It is a very beautiful 

 variety, blooming in a warm greenhouse or moderate plant stove, in 

 large clusters, for a long period and in vast profusion. We saw it 

 fine at Mr. Henderson's Nursery, Edgware Road, London.
