tiful ; they were taken from flowers furnished by Dennis & 

 Co. of Chelsea, who have a superb collection ; the names are 

 Rosa Munda, Magnum Bonum, Dennis's Queen Adelaide, 

 Bancho, Habranthum, Smut, and are priced for 1835 at 10s., 

 5s. 6(1., 20s., 3s. Grf., 2s. 6d. 



J. D., in the Gardener's Mag-azine, states that tlie follow- 

 ing-, also in flower at the same place, are some of the most 

 select and splendid for this season: — " Dennis's Perfection 

 and Duchess of Sutherland. These two exquisite varieties 

 are rather in one mode as to foliage, umbels of flowers, and 

 shape of blossom, which is bell-shaped ; the petals touching, 

 so as to leave little or no vacancy between them : some have 

 compared the flowers to those of an auricula, and the umbel 

 to a truss of them. — Lord Denman : rich dark crimson, with 

 large blackish spots. — Hericartidnum : somewhat the color 

 of the last, with larger flowers ; the spots on the upper pe- 

 tals not so large. — Augustissimum superbum : a new variety 

 from France. — Adelina : bright rosy red ; blooms very abun- 

 dantly ; habit graceful. — Belvidere : a fine bright red, with 

 peculiarly bright crimson spots. — Banquo: fine red, with large 

 very dark spots. — Amelia : a light pink, with rose-colored 

 spots ; flowers very large. — Rosinante : a full-colored rose, 

 with crimson-veined spots. — New Duchess of Clarence : the 

 delicacy of the white of the petals, and the crimson of the 

 spots, in contrast, render this a very pleasing variety. — Me- 

 dea, a pale rose with large spots. — Habranthum, abounding 

 in its magnificent blossoms. — Welijiednum : this is called a 

 crimson purple, and has a robust habit. — Fulminans : dark 

 red ; flov/ers large and numerous. — Black Prince : crimson 

 purple, with very dark spots; lower petals narrow. — Statira, 

 Captain Cook, Margaretta, Incarnatum, and Don Quixote." 

 CXXX. Violdceoi. 



In the Cabinet is figured two fine specimens of the Viola 

 or Pansy, named Rollinson's Princess Victoria and Mars- 

 den's King William ; they are very fine ; the two upper pe- 

 tals of the former are of a very dark color, nearly black ; the 

 three lower ones yellow, margined with sky blue ; the pen- 

 ciling extends some distance into the petals ; it is considered 

 equal to any yet produced ; the latter is not much hand- 

 somer than many we have seen. The following remarks are 

 appended to the figures : — " Transplanting is only to be 

 safely practised twice in the year, particularly in such sea- 

 sons as the last, namely, towards the end of April and the 

 end of September. Many fine seedlings were totally lost 

 last year by selecting and removing them from the seed-bed 

 in the summer : the safer plan is to let tbem remain where 

 they are till they have formed strong plants, and then to 

 separate the roots at either of the times mentioned ; the
