A LIST OF SUPERIOR CARNATIONS. 65 



All the plants in the ahove list are beautiful in their kinds, and very 

 showy, suitable to ornament a flower garden in a very gay manner. There 

 are a few other kinds which might be added, of mixed colours, that are not 

 inserted in the above, such as tbe following: — Astrantia minor, Primulas, 

 Crimson, White, Buff; Poeonies of various kinds and colours, as White, 

 Crimson, Rose, Red, &c. ; Lilies of various kinds; Narcissuses, Irises, 

 Hepaticas, Crocuses, &c. A list of the best bulbous, and of early spring 

 flowering plants, shall be sent you very soon. There are a number of new- 

 handsome plants, annual, biennial, and perennial, that are of recent intro- 

 duction into this country ; but Dot being plenteous at present, I have reserved 

 a list of them for a future communication.
