introduced by the enterprising nurserymen of those places: it 

 will therefore be unnecessary for us to enumerate them here. 

 A reference to our notices of the establishments of Messrs. 

 Buist, Ritchie & Dick, Mackenzie, and others, in Philadel- 

 phia, and the Messrs. Feasts, Baltimore, (some account of 

 which will appear in our February number,) will show to 

 what extent these have been added to our collections. In 

 the vicinity of Boston several new geraniums, camellias, car- 

 nations, roses, and other plants, have been imported, descrip- 

 tive notices of which will appear under this head, as they come 

 into bloom, 



Camelh^ japonica var. Binneyu. — We understand that the 

 stock of this fine seedling variety, raised by Mr. J. B. Smith, 

 of Philadelphia, has been purchased by Mr. Boll, nursery- 

 man. New York, together with many seedling plants of INlr. 

 Smith's, which have not bloomed. When we were in Phil- 

 adelphia, in August last, we called upon Mr. Smith, and 

 passed an hour in looking through his fine collection of cacti 

 and camellias, (our notes on which were written out for pub- 

 lication a month since, and have been waiting an opportunity 

 for insertion,) and he then informed us he was desirous of 

 selling out his whole stock of plants. Mr. Smith has been a 

 most successful grower of seedlings. 



Iconography of the genus Camellia. — Since our last notice 

 of this work forty additional numbers have been published, 

 making, in all, forty-eight. In these, ninety-six camellias are 

 figured, being only a fourth part of the number of varieties, 

 (or reputed ones,) in the collection of the Abbe Berlese. 

 In one of the latter numbers is a figure of the celebrated Vic- 

 toria camellia, much spoken of for its great beauty, and sold 

 at the high price of one hundred francs per plant. The 

 drawing represents a well formed, very double, and regular 

 flower, of a deep red color, with a broad stripe of white 

 through the centre of every petal. It promises to be a valu- 

 able variety. We shall refer to this work again, and describe 

 some of the varieties that are figured, that are but little known 

 in our collections. — Ed.
