 Your Aster, Miss Kate Lock, is the finest 1 ever 

 grew. The largest and most petfect flowered Aster 

 on my grounds this year and that is saying consider- 

 able.as I had seed from Italy, Germany, France, 

 England, California, Canada and the United States. 

 REV. J. R. LAWRENCE, Prop.

"The only new things in greenhouse 

 flowering plants likely to be commer- 

 cially useful are the red balsam, Impa- 

 tiens Holstii, and Cutbush's improved 

 Erica Wilmoreana, with the pretty ivy 

 pelargonium, Hon. Mrs. Boyle. 



"The novelty of the season in sweet 

 peas is without doubt Henry Eckford, 

 the brilliant coloring of which took the 

 spectators by storm when first exhibited. 

 Helen Lewis, Queen Alexandra and Eve- 

 lyn Byatt also promise well. 



"The additions among annuals are 

 vjery few, but three good things ob- 

 tained recognition. Eschscholtzia Car- 

 mine King, very distinct and a fine 

 advance; Centaureas Bride and Bride- 

 groom, two of the prettiest annuals we 

 have seen for years, and Godetia Scham- 

 ini double blush."

DIFHCULTIES OF IMPORTING. 



We were surprised to read, on page 

 668 of the Review, the remarks of the 

 correspondent G., and cannot understand 

 the diflSculty which appears to exist in 

 the importation of azaleas and rhodo- 

 dendrons as well as general nursery
