ARTHUR HENDERSON and CO. will send our, 

 the first week in April, a NEW SCARLET VERBENA, 

 * very decided improvement upon the great favourite Scarlet 

 DcAanta; hatag similar in habit, but the trusses of flowers and 

 also the iingja flowers are nearly double the size, and with equal 

 — sf not more— brilliancy of colour. 



a\ If. * Co. owing a large stock to cull from, and being 

 deriious that tbeir patrons shall at once enjoy the pleasure of 

 •nifty a^ood mass of this valuable bedding plant in their own 

 U**r gartens, have determined on sending out fine strong 

 at 185. per dozen, or 52. per hundred, 

 imonialf .of the highest order could be given in favour of 

 Ulrbena fbr its size and colour, but the recommendation of 

 IiEKDfluair&Ce; is no doubt qnite sufficient, without 

 tmrt li ng tbeir friends with any further remarks.
