 Ampelopsis. Lonicera. Clematis. 



introduction of a new hardy shrub is of more ben- 

 efit than the discovery of a host of new greenhouse 

 plants. 



The one can be grown by the people and all can enjoy it, 

 the others must ever remain the pleasure of a few. 



It is, therefore, a pleasant duty to describe some new 

 shrubs which are real acquisitions, and adapted to general 

 cultivation. 



AMYGDALOPSIS. 



This charming plant (A. Lindleyana), more commonly 

 known as Prunus triloba, is a dwarf-growing plant, which 

 in early spring is a mass of large, bright, pink, rosette-like 

 flowers ; native of China. It has proved perfectly hardy, 

 and should be in every garden.
