FLORICULTURAL AND BOTANICAL NOTICES. 



The White Coroll;ed Fuchsias. — These new and beau-

 plants have yet flowered only sparingly, but they show what

 are various shades of crimson, boldly striped with white ; 

 good sized blooms, abundantly produced, and the plants of 

 good habit. 



New Lantanas. — Two very fine varieties of these elegant 

 bedding-out plants have ornamented our grounds the whole 

 summer, viz., L. lutea superba and L. flavicoma, the former
