FloricuUural Intelligence. — J\''ew Seedling Pelargoniums. 

 Mr. McLennan, gardener to W. Pratt, Esq., of Oakley 

 Place, Walertown, has raised some fine seedling pelargo- 

 niums, or geraniums, which are now coming into full flower. 

 A few of the plants have already opened their blossoms, 

 ■which promise a rich reward to Mr. McLennan, for his ex- 

 ertions in attempting the growth of seedlings. The seeds 

 were selected from the best of the old sorts, such as Specu- 

 lum mundi, Diomede, &c., the flowers of which were ferti- 

 lized with others equally beautiful. Some plants, from seeds 

 of the first named variety, have produced flowers nearly 

 white, with a deep brown spot on the upper petals; the shape 

 of the truss, and habit of the plant, excellent. INIany others, 

 (so we are informed by a good judge, not having had the 

 opportunity to see them ourselves, though we intend to do so,) 

 are equally novel and splendid, and show that perseverance 

 and care are only wanting to increase the varieties of the pe- 

 largonium as rapidly, and with equal success, as has been done 

 by the English florists. We intend to ofier some observa- 

 tions upon the production of seedlings, in order to induce 

 amateurs and others to make attempts to procure new varie- 

 ties. — Ed.
