 commences flowering in June and continues to October. 



Upwards of sixty varieties are cultivated in our collection, 

 many of which are kinds tolerably well known : at another 

 opportunity, we may describe several of the new ones which 

 have not yet flowered, and also more particularly notice some 

 of the American seedlings which have recenth^ been raised. 

 For the present, we have only room to make an enumeration 

 of 36 kinds, including several of the new ones above de- 

 scribed, suitable for an amateur collection, which will afford 

 a constant succession of flowers, of all the principal colors, 

 from May to November: —
