THE GREATEST NOVELTY EVER OFFERED TO THE 



PUBLIC. 



RHODODENDRON JACKSONII.-This splendid 



** ncwharly Rhododendron is conftdentlyrecomn.cn 1 I as 

 the most beautiful variety extant; it surpasses in the colours 

 of its flowers the richest Geranium, and is quite a new feature 

 in this nohle family. It forces well, is a free bio met and of 

 dwarf habit. A truss of flowers was transmitted to Dr. Lindley 

 who pronounced It "a very compact and handsome variety " 

 with •• grea* -ichness'* in its general appearance, Sec. See 

 Chronica of tl.e 6th April last, page 216, " Rhododendron.—

Wm. J. and Co. take this opportunity of stating that in con- 

 sequence of the great success they have had in propagating the 

 above beautiful Cinerarias, they have reduced the price, which 

 will be applicable to all who have already favoured them with 

 their orders, which will be executed next month, and plants 

 given to compensate for long carriage.
