blotching, tinting, edging and dotting of ttie various flowers have 

 no parallel among plants. 



2. Camellia, C. M. Hove}'. This is the very splendid pure scar- 

 let camellia, which has been previously reported upon as a seedling 

 exhibited without name. It is precisely the same tint as the back 

 of Poinsett I a pulcherrima ; in size it measures five to six inches in 

 diameter, and in form is remarkable for its great regularity and 

 depth, as well as its petals, which are bold without a notch or scr- 

 vature ; the growth vigorous, with large and glossy leaves, and a 

 fine, bush}'-, dangling habit. 



3. Eva Corrine IIove3\ This is a remarkable flower, of a clear 

 rosy hue, often tipped with white ; the flowers are large, ver}' deep, 

 and the centre petals are incurved, presenting the same appear- 

 ance as the fine incurved Chrysanthemums. It is of fine habit, and 

 flowers in such profusion that great quantities of flowers were open 

 at the same time on the original plant, which was more than ten 

 feet high. 



4. Souvenir of Miss Anna Marie Hove3\ "Without a doubt one 

 of the most exquisite white Camellias. It is as double as the old 

 double white, but the petals are perfectly circattar, and shell- 

 shaped, without the least notch of any kind ; the petal is also thick 

 and wary ; the habit fine, and growth moderate ; the foliage is 

 round, of the very deepest and most gloss}- green, setting oflf the 

 pearly flowers to great perfection. 



5. Mrs. Louisa Spurr. An entirely new shade of color, being a 

 violet rose, of exquisite form ; ever}' petal round and entire on the 

 edge ; habit, similar to C. imhricata. 



G. C. II. Ilovey. This is the dark variety so frequently exhib- 

 ited, and now first named. The color is quite new, resembling as 

 nearly as possible Lord Raglan rose, or many of the new dark 

 crimson-shaded roses, a color never seen in an^' camellia yet pro- 

 duced. The shape is perfect, the petal as round and perfect as if 

 cut with a compass ; the habit is vigorous, bold and spreading. 



7.- Suselte Ilovej'. This is another variety of a peculiar and 

 lovely shade of soft, rosy carmine, with crimson veins, giving the 

 flower a, reticulated appearance. The flowers are of perfect form, 

 very double, and the petals round and entire ; habit, moderately 

 vigorous. 



There are other seedlings, which are not yet named, but which 

 will be in due time. Mr. Ilovey informs us that they were never
