figured in the London Flor. and Bot. Magazines. 219 



have been introduced. Believing a short description of a few 

 of them will be interesting, as serving to guide amateurs and 

 others in the selection of the plants, we have given the following. 

 They were hastily made, but will convey a general idea of the 

 flowers: — 



Amelia, blush, with rose-colored spots, flowers very large. 



Van Huysen, rosy purple, good sized flower. 



Charles X., very fine one, similar to Macranthon, but the plant 

 lias a much neater habit, and the flower stems erect. 



Lord Denman, crimson purple, with large blackish spots, fine 

 habit and profuse flowerer. 



Yulneratum, blush, mottled or shaded with rose, large flower, 

 and quite distinct from any other we have seen. 



Jack of Newbury, rosy purple, very handsome. 



Blue Beard, a beautiful crimson purple, good formed flower, 

 and handsome truss. 



Virginius, fine rose, spotted. 



Pulcherrima, bright rose. 



Hericartidnwjn, crimson purple, beautiful habit, well formed 

 truss, and large round flower. 



Duchess of Plymouth, blush, very distinctly and boldly lined. 



Tory, dark red, very handsome, large flowerer. 



Imogene, fine white. 



Gen. Washington, (BoH's) rosy purple, fine habit, free flower- 

 er, large and handsome truss, a superb variety, 



Diadematum, beautiful pink flower, the lower petals elegant 

 shaded, flower stems erect, and truss very full and large. 



Gen. Mina, fine purple. 



Several others had passed their bloom, and we therefore did 

 not have an opportunity of obtaining a description of the flow- 

 ers. Another season we shall endeavor to give accurate descrip- 

 lions of all the new and fine varieties. 



In the collection of Mr Wilder there are some very superb 

 ones in bloom, but we have not yet had an opportunity to see 

 them. Mr. Donald has raised one beautiful seedling, of which 

 "we shall speak hereafter. 



In New York we presume Messrs. Hogg and Thorburn have 

 made, and still are making, a splendid display. In an advertise- 

 ment of Mr. Thorburn's, giving notice that the plants were in 

 bloom, and inviting the public to view them, he enumerates, as in 

 flower, among others, Gem, Speculum Mundi, Lovely Anne, 

 Ne plus ultra. Tain O'Slianter, Lautum, Pixy Queen, Incarna- 

 tum superbum. Belladonna, Sancho Panza, Beauty of Cambridge, 

 Dennis's Pi rfection, and Queen of Scots. The most rare of 

 these are Incarnalum superbum, and Beauty of Cambridge,
