fine varieties of noisette roses are in full bloom ; among which Adelaide 

 d'Orleans, is a most delicate one. This tribe of roses will ultimately be 

 the ornament of our gardens. Mmulus variegatus and Smithti have 

 been profusely in flower all the spring. Gilia tricolor has also been 

 covered with its charming flowers, forming one of the prettiest objects in 

 the green-house. We have now in full bloom about fifty pots of hya- 

 cinths. Some of them are stronger in their growth and flowering, than 

 any we have ever seen. We have noticed in another page, a fine speci- 

 men of the Bouquet tendre. Bonaparte, a double dark blue flower, is a 

 superb kind. Among the yellows the Duchesse de Berri is the finest. 

 Of the single blues, Voltaire is one of the best. The Countess of Hol- 

 land is a beautiful double rosy red. But the most magnificent of the 

 whole is the Cochineal, with single flowers, of a rich deep crimson. We 

 have never seen any thing which would come up to this. Although a 

 high priced kind, no good collection should be without it. About three 

 hundred seedling polyanthuses are coming into bloom ; five or six flowers 

 promise well, and we shall probably save that number which will pos- 

 sess suflicient merit to name. We wish to see this flower more exten- 

 sively grown. About twenty-five species and varieties of the Peebnia 

 will be in bloom in June ; several of them have never yet flowered here, 

 and we anticipate a brilliant and interesting show. A great number of 

 very fine seedling pansies are now displaying their blossoms; some of 

 them are deserving of names. We are glad to perceive that these are 

 now becoming more generally grown ; if as much attention is given to 

 them, as has been in England, we have no doubt as fine seedlings can be 

 raised. Mr. Walker, of Roxbury, and Wm. Carter, of the botanic garden, 

 Cambridge, have raised a number of fine varieties, to which they have 

 given names. — Conds.
