Dennis and Co.'s Catalogue for 1834. 151 



goniums and georginas, distributed into sections, according to the 

 colours of the flowers. The price of almost every variety is 

 affixed to it, and in the georginas the height also. In both 

 families, a good many varieties " have been struck off the last 

 published catalogue, to make room for those of more recent date 

 and far greater beauty, which are denoted by an asterisk before 

 each name.'"' With the merits of the latter we have not had an 

 opportunity to become personally acquainted, but we are assured 

 that they are of a high quality. Among the varieties of estab- 

 lished excellence we observe habranthum, marked at from 5s. to 

 1 5s., according to the size of the plant; Dennis's Queen Adelaide, 

 Lord Ravensworth, and Ne plus ultra, each at from 5s. to 105. ; 

 Queen of Scots, 2s. 6d. to 5s. ; fusco superb, 3s. 6d. ; Weltje- 

 dnum, 10s. to 20s. ; queen of roses, 2s. 6d. to 5s.
