Seedling Camellias. — Great accessions have been made 

 to our list of American seedlings, which already dispute the 

 palm of excellence with the finest of the Belgian and Italian 

 varieties. 



Mr. Kurtz, an amateur of Baltimore, has raised two very 

 fine seedlings ; one a blush, distinctly striped with pink, finely 

 imbricated to the centre ; and the other a deep rich rose, 

 double, and finely imbricated. 



Messrs. Hovey & Co. have produced several exquisite ones, 

 particularly distinct and entirely new in color ; one a pure 

 white, elegantly flaked with crimson, with a petal as entire 

 and perfect as can be imagined, and imbricated to the very 

 centre ; another, a dark maroon ; and a third, a crimson scar- 

 let ; both remarkable for form and petal. 



Mr. Wilder has a fine new one, of similar color to Wilder*, 

 but larger, and much fuller and better formed, though not so 

 good a petal ; he has also others of less merit, but far superior 

 to many of the foreign kinds which have had a high repu- 

 tation. 



Messrs. Winship & Co. have also a seedling very handsome, 

 something in the way of Duchess of Orleans, but rather 

 better, being a freer bloomer. 



Already many of the American seedlings have the highest 

 reputation in Europe, and these recent varieties will add 

 greatly to the merit of our productions, and render them 

 more eagerly sought after by amateurs of this splendid flower. 



New Heliotropes. — Corymbosum, Gem, lilacina, and rep- 

 tans, are the names of four new ones ; the latter was 

 exhibited before the London Horticultural Society in 1850, 

 and described as of the most "extraordinary perfume, and 

 highly desirable for a bouquet." Each of these are great 

 improvements on the old ones.
