The taste among growers seems to incline towards self-colored dahl- 

 ias, and of dark shades. Very few superb light colors have been raised 

 the past jear. 



All the above command such a price, that probably but few of them 

 will be imported until the next season. 



In the Horticultural Journa/ of last season a descriptive list of nearly 

 all the most superior varieties was given; these descriptions have proved 

 in a great degree correct, and we therefore copy from the same a list 

 of some of the new varieties which are advertised for sale in the cat- 

 alogues in this country. Such of them as have been grown here equal 

 the descriptions. The remarks respecting the cutting away of the 

 shoots of many varieties are exceedingly judicious, and deserve atten- 

 tion. 



Shakspeare (Squibb's,) three to four feet, raised in 1836, not a pro- 

 fuse bloomer, exhibited in xXugust, Se|)tember and October, at the Hants 

 and Southampton shows, cupped ])ctals, well up in the centre and al- 

 ways perfect in the eye, crimson and orange shaded, for a seedling of 

 one season only it exhibited all the signs of being permanent.

 raised in 1835, exhibited at Salisbury, won first prize, cuj)ped petal, fine 

 form, three fourths of a globe, bright scarlet.

 ajre, recjuires early ])binting, raised in 1835, exhii)ited at Salisbury and 

 Southampton, round flattish petals, inclined to cup, clear white. 



Ruby, (Girling's,) a seedling of 1835, and of very superior habit as 

 a garden plant, as well as of high qualitj' as a show flower. Exhibited 

 at all the principal shows, took prizes at the Metropolitan Show and 

 Vauxhall; color bright rul)y, cupped petals, flowers above the foliage. 

 The size, as well as the form, ))laces it among first-rate show flowers. 



Suffolk Hero. (Girling's,) a splendid variety, possessing all the pro- 

 perties of a good show flower. Raised from seed in 1835, and has been 

 exhibited at almost every show, in considerable nund)ers; took seedling 

 prize at Twickenham, in 1835, and was shown in boxesof half a dozen 

 or a dozen all the season 1836. The habit is excellent, height four to 

 five feet; displays all its flowers equal to the Springfield Rival, and has 

 been esteemed one of the best self-colored show flowers."

 ly, habit good, blooms free from the foliage, requires no cutting out, 

 form of Springfield Rival, always perfect in the eye, beautiful puce
