In the collection of Mr. Wilder, two seedlings have flow- 

 ered which were produced from the same pod of seed as the 

 C var. Wilderii, and they partake much of the character of 

 that variety ; they are not so regular in the outline, nor are 

 the petals so symmetrically arranged : but they are, notwith- 

 standing, very fine additions. It is remarkable that three 

 seeds from one pod, and that pod from a plant of the old 

 single red, impregnated with eclipse, should each produce 

 such beautiful varieties.

COBU'RGIA 



versicolor W. Herbert Changeable Coburgia. A green-house bulb, growing two and a half 

 feet high ; with orange and crimson flowers ; appearing in June and July ; a native of Peru ; 

 increased by offsets ; cultivated in loam and rotten dung. But. Reg. IS42, t. 66. 



A "beautiful plant," throwing up a stem about two feet 

 high, terminated with a cluster of six to eight drooping tu- 

 bular flowers, at first orange, and changing to a ricli crim- 

 son, the limb margined with green. The treatment is simi- 

 lar to that of the amaryllis ; but the bulbs are rather shy 

 of flowering. They should be potted early in the spring, 

 and encouraged to make a vigorous growth before midsum- 

 mer, when the flower generally appears. After blooming, 

 the bulbs should be placed out of the reach of frost during 

 winter. A rich loam, mixed with perfectly rotten dung 

 and leaves is the proper soil, and the neck of the bulbs 

 should be kept above the ground. (^Bot. Reg. Dec.)

The White JVice Grape. — At a late meeting of the London Horticultu- 

 ral Society, Mr. J. Roberts, gardener to M. Wilson, Esq. exhibited among 

 other grapes bunches of the White Nice weighing four pounds three oun- 

 ces ; being about sixteen inches in length, and as much in width across 

 tlie shoulders : this grape is usually considered of little value, but when well 

 grown, and allowed to hang upon the vine until thoroughly ripe, at whicli 

 time the berries are of a bright amber color, it is one of the best 

 kinds known. All the clusters sent by Mr. Roberts were cut from vines
