Mtices of new and beautiful Plants. 343 



any mark of white to be seen. The plant from which our 

 drawing was taken, produced only one variegated flower, 

 which, happening to be the first, we sent it to the engra- 

 ver's; but the remaining flowers opening all plain red, we 

 were induced to add one of the red flowers." The same 

 case occurred with a plant in a gentleman's collection in our 

 vicinity, with this exception, — that, one season, the whole of 

 the flowers on the plant were splendidly spotted and varie- 

 gated, and the following year, all were red, without the least 

 tinge of white. It will often happen, and the purchaser of 

 rare plants must not be disappointed, if they do not prove to 

 be the same the first or second season of their flowering, 

 that they were bought for: sometimes owing to peculiar 

 management, and sometimes from other circiunstances, they 

 will not at first equal the expectations formed of their splendor. 



In our last, (p. 307,) we stated that seven new varieties 

 had been raised in the garden of W. F. Campbell, Esq., 

 M. P., Newhall, Lancashire. The followhig description of 

 them is given in the Floricultural Cabinet for May. 



" 1. Camellia japonic a ^ var. Hendersom., Henderson's hybrid. 

 A seedling from the double striped; a large and very beau- 

 tifully formed rose-colored flower, named in honor of the late 

 Mr. Walter Henderson, who was gardener to W. F. 

 Campbell, Esq. This flower gained the silver medal, 

 awarded by the Caledonian Horticultural Society in May, 

 1834, for the best seedling camellia raised in Scotland. 



2. C. _/., var. heteropetela^ alba. A seedling from Middle- 

 masts's blush. A very large pure white flower, the form of 

 its parent, but nearly double the size. 



3. C ;., var. Co/»;96e7/J, Campbell's hybrid. A seedling 

 from Middlemast's blush. The flowers are very large, of a 

 fine white, striped and spotted with pale red. A very hand- 

 some and showy flower. 



4. C. j.., venustum., Lady Eleanor Campbell's hybrid. A 

 seedling from Middlemast's blush. A most beautiful red 

 flower, the centre petals being occasionally mottled with 

 white. 



5. C. J., .^rfe/airfw. Miss Adelaide Campbell's hybrid. A 

 seedling from the red warattah. A splendid rose-colored 

 flower, after the form of the var. Chandltrii. 



6. C. j.y var. Julidnii., Miss Julia Campbell's hybrid. A 

 seedling from Middlemast's blush. A finely formed and very 

 beautiful flower; the flowers are white, sometimes having a 

 delicate red stripe up the centre of each petal. 



7. C. j., var. heteropetela rubra. A seedling from the red 

 warattah. A very handsome flower, being far superior to 

 thie parent kind; it bloomed this season (1835) for the first 

 time.
