Floricultural and Botanical Notices. Double White Chi- 

 nese Primrose. — We have recently had a small plant of 

 this fine variety in bloom ; it is perfectly double and full, and 

 a well grown specimen must be a most beautiful object. Two 

 well grown plants were exhibited at the meeting of the Lon- 

 don Horticultural Society in February, which measured nine 

 inches in height and fifteen inches in breadth, uniformly cov- 

 ered with bloom, and healthy foliage down to the very pot ; 

 and a Banksian medal was awarded to it. From the difii- 

 culty which attends its propagation, it will be some time 

 before plants will become generally distributed in collections ; 

 its great beauty, however, entitles it to a place among choice 

 plants. 



New Verbenas. — Since our last description of verbenas in 

 our last volume (X., p. 220), several fine new varities have 

 been produced. Two of the best of them, one a rich purple, 

 and the other a white, are equal if not superior to any others 

 of the same class. Mr. S. Feast of Baltimore was the raiser 

 of these seedlings, and we shall soon describe them with a 

 few more of first rate merit. No foreign varieties that we 

 have seen equal our American seedlings. 



Seedling Chinese Azaleas. — Mr. Wales, of Dorchester, has 

 raised several new seedling azaleas, among which are two or 

 three white varieties, which possess much merit : one we 

 noticed in particular, which flowers in compact clusters.
