of snow-white flowers form a nice contrast to the green foliage of 

 others. 



Epacris albida compacta. — Flowers nearly an inch long, bell- 

 shaped, pure white. Very pretty. 



Corrjea Stockwelliana. — Flowers an inch and a half long, bright 

 red, profuse bloomer. C. speciosa, C. speciosa grandiflora, C. alba, 

 C. rosea, and C. tricolor were commencing their floral display. Their 

 beautiful tube-shaped flowers, with pretty contrasting colours, and 

 borne copiously, render them most charming objects in the greenhouse 

 throughout winter and spring. Every greenhouse should have some 

 of the best in it. 



Buddlea Madagascardiensis. — In the stove ; a neat plant, pro- 

 ducing a profusion of bright orange-coloured flowers, borne in long 

 spikes, which are highly ornamental. The foliage and branches are 

 nearly white : the contrast is strikingly pretty. It is well worth 

 growing. 



Plumbago rosea. — This is a charming winter-blooming stove 

 plant ; its fine spikes of bright rose-coloured flowers are very pretty. 

 It well merits a place in every one. 



Coronilla glauca and C. glauca-variegata are profuse 

 bloomers : their numerous heads of bright yellow, pea-formed flowers 

 are very pretty. Every greenhouse should contain them. 



Luculia gratissima. — This is one of the most charming flowering 

 plants of the season. Large or small ones will readily bloom, and 

 their fine heads of fragrant flowers, of a neat fresh pink colour, are 

 very pretty. It is well worth growing.
