Tency, purplish rose ; Lady Elphinstoiie, rosy crimson ; Mar- 

 quise Boccella, delicate flesh, superb ; Comte d' Eu, beautiful 

 carmine ; La Bedoyere, similar to Comte d' Eu ; Baron Pro- 

 vost, pale rose and several others. 



Among the Teas and Noisettes, are Tea Adam, with large 

 and bold rose colored flowers ; Josephine Malton, huffish yel- 

 low, and Princess Adelaide (du Luxembourg) fine yellow ; 

 Moyre, large full pale yellow ; Julie Mansais, sulphury white : 

 Madame Roussel, white, &c. 



Mrs. Siddons, a new yellow noisette, and ChTomatella and 

 Solfitaire are yet the newest in this class. 



New Verbenas. — In our last volume, (p. 220,) we described 

 several of the finest new varieties. The only very desirable 

 kinds that have come to our notice since, are two raised by 

 Mr. S. Feast, of Baltimore ; one a purplish blue, with a pale 

 eye, and the other a fine large scarlet one. Gazelle and Pur- 

 ple Perfection are two of the richest purple and maroon vari- 

 eties that we have yet seen. A superior white verbena is yet 

 a desideratum, and we hope the attempts to produce one 

 will succeed. Of most other shades there are many kinds, 

 and the next object will be a fine variegated flower ; novelty 

 must be the object, in part, of the verbena, now elevated to 

 the rank of a florists flower. The facility with which 

 seeds can be ripened, and rapidity of the growth of the 

 plants in summer, should be inducements for amateurs to 

 continue their experiments. 



New Pelargoniums. — Seedling pelargoniums within the 

 last year or two have been raised by several amateurs and 

 nurserymen. Mr. Meller, of Roxbury, has had excellent 

 success, and we described several of his seedlings some time 

 ago. (Vol. IX. p. 208.) Mr. Buist has introduced the names of 

 several into his new Catalogue for 1845, which he describes as 

 superior varieties. Messrs. Hovey & Co. have produced two 

 or three very fine ones, and have now a great many seedlings 

 to bloom the ensuing season. We trust that there will be no 

 necessity, in the course of a few years, to import any new 

 kinds unless of remarkable beauty.

 the collection of Messrs. Hovey & Co., selected in England
