vious species. It is a profuse bloomer, and retains its foliage 

 all winter. 



Lantana Americana, — A new and very fine addition has 

 been made to this pretty tribe in the L. americana. In habit 

 it is nearly as slender and spreading as the L. SellowM, but 

 the flowers are of a fine deep orange yellow, and are as freely 

 produced as upon the L. Sellown. As a bedding species it 

 will form a fine contrast with L. lilacina, or Sellow«, or even 

 with the white or blue verbenas. It is a very fine acquisition. 



New Fuchsias. — The two new fuchsias, Roi des Fuchsias 

 and Ochroleuca, raised byM. Miellez, have just flowered, and 

 are the finest of the large blooming kinds we have yet seen. 

 The flowers of the first are exceedingly large, with a dark 

 rose corolla, and flesh-colored orange sepals, tipped with 

 green ; ochroleuca is similar in size, but with a crimson 

 corolla and straw white sepals. They are magnificent addi-

 if it should prove to be new, we would propose the name of 

 ^Salvia Lynesm?ia. 



New Tree PasoNiES. — Van Houtte, of Belgium, offers for 

 sale three new and fine varieties of this superb shrub. They 

 are as follows : — 



Souvenir de Madame Knorr, flowers very large and very 

 double, white suff'used with rose. 



Charles Rogier, silky white, centre petals striped and mot- 

 tled with rose, like a carnation. 



Remembrance of A. J. Downing, fine silky rose, brilliant 

 and very double. 



' Odier's New Geraniums. — M. J. Odier, of Paris, has created 

 quite di furore among fanciers of this beautiful tribe, by the 

 production of several seedlings of new and unsurpassed 

 elegance, quite different from any we already possess, being 

 apparently between the show and fancy kinds, having large
