Since our last notice of new kinds that have bloomed the past 

 winter, under this head, some very handsome varieties have 

 opened. At Mr. Wilder's, Tryphosa, a new white, expanded 

 one flower. We did not see it, but were informed that it is a 

 very desirable sort. It is something similar, in form, to Gre- 

 ville's red, having that free and loose arrangement of the petals, 

 but, in color, a creamy white. At Mr. Buist's, we saw, at our 

 late visit, a bud of a seedling plant, which, to appearance, prom- 

 ised to be a white flower. It will probably have expanded by 

 the lime this goes to press. INIr. Buist has already a fine seed- 

 ling, which he is now propagating extensively, for a stock, before 

 it goes out, as the phrase is. It is a very splendid one. We 

 have, "in another page, noticed a new white, raised by Mr. Har- 

 rison, of ^ew York.

Barron's Miss Neville picotee is figured in the Horticultural 

 Journal for January. It is a sport from one of the same name, 

 and there is little doubt it will prove permanent by propagation. 

 Instances of sporting in carnations are frequent, but rare in pico- 

 tees. The ground is white, with a few scattered but distinct 

 touches of scarlet near the edge of some of the petals. 



Jlliss Clifton Pink. — This is the name we have given to a 

 seedling we raised the past season. It is of first rate excel- 

 lence, and will not suffer in comparison with any prize flower.

Two new dahlias are figured in the Horticultural Journal and 

 the Floricultural Cabinet. In the former, one called Sir John 

 Sebright; a very superior self, of a claret color, with cupped 

 petals. In the latter, one called Marsh's Paragon, a parti-col- 

 ored one; the ground color sulphur, with a pink edge: the flow- 

 ers are very perfect, with cupped petals. Under our Foreign 

 Notices some information will be found respecting the dahlia ex- 

 hibitions in England in 1836.

 larger than the chama^drifdlia, and of a deep red color. It 

 grows erect, about two feet high, and blooms freely. Propaga- 

 ted easily from cuttings.
