Horticidtural Intelligence — Mr. For tunics Mission to Cal- 

 ifornia. — The last number of the Journal of the Horticultural 

 Society has an article from Mr. Fortune, giving an account of 

 his visit to California. So far as he had then proceeded, he 

 had not met with many plants ; but as his journal will be con- 

 tinued, we shall endeavour to give an account of all the new- 

 things worthy of notice. 



Camellidi japonica Wilderi, and Abby Wilder. — We learn 

 that our correspondent. Col. Wilder, has disposed of the whole 

 stock of his two seedling camellias, Wilder* and Abby Wild- 

 er, for the very large sum of one thousand dollars. We have 

 often spoken of these two varieties, which are equal to any 

 that have been raised, but we were not aware that the ca- 

 mellia had become so favorite a flower as to command such a 

 high price. In Europe, where the demand for new things is 

 immense, compared with this country, it is rare such a high 

 price is paid for the stock of any new plant. We are glad, 

 however, to find the camellia in such good demand by our 

 cultivators. The purchaser was Mr. J. L. L. F. Warren.
