Chandler^s Elegant Camellia. 

 Concinna, in point of regularity and beauty, may be numbered 

 among the very best of the camellias. Mr. Chandler, who raised 

 it, describes it thus: " The flowers are of a fine rose color, 

 very elegantly formed, and open well. When fully expanded, 

 they measure rather more than three inches in diameter, and are 

 little inferior to eximia or imbricata, the petals being nearly as 

 numerous, and arranged with equal nicety over one another, from 

 the circumference to the centre.

 This is supposed to be a Chinese variety. The flower re-

 A Chinese variety introduced by the London Horticultural 



Society, in 1824. It is a lovely camellia, of a most delicate 

 pale pink color, blotched and striped with white. The flowers 

 are above medium size, double, well formed, and decidedly 

 fragrant.

 Remarks respecting the treatment of the Yelloio J^oisette Rose.

From the perusal of a French catalogue of plants, I find the 

 rose has been multiplied to an astonishing extent the last three or 

 four years. Every florist, or cultivator, in France, I am told, 

 is very emulous to excel his competitor in the raising of new va-
