 having mingled wi'h the violet." See also notice of Dr. Lindley 

 in the Chronide for Dec. % 1854, as follows:—" L.. P., & Co. Your 

 "V . Kerme8ina is a handsome dark variety of V. speciosa; its 

 beautitullarge spikes of deep purplish crimson blossoms cannot 

 fail to make it a favourite." Price Is. 6d. each. A few extra-

EXTRACTS: 



• One ot the fields of this farm, the property of Mbs. Stanbury, 

 was planted with Regents Potatoes in April last, some of which 

 were prepared by you. The result now i , that th« whote of the 

 crop from the* unprepsred sets is thorouglily uiavaspd. and hardly 

 worth the trouble of taking up ; while tbo«e raised by the side of 

 them freia the prapared sets are not only in * beautiful state of 



eswvation from the disease, but tbe produce is much greater,—- 

 the Potatoes ar- ore numerous than r \ era; indeed, if there 



were Btna t^ing as the disease to be ie**%d, it would be worth 

 the trf>uhVe aisi expense of preparing the s*t» by your process, 

 even for the sake of the improved crops. 1 sl»U 'certain;?, for
