between Geranium erubescens and a Hollyhock. Our great Fruit Trees, Evergreens, 6c, may be had on pre-paid applies. 



Horticultural authority, Dr. Lindley, repudiates the idea, but t i orj . Amongst the Fruit Trees may be named some splendid 



acknowledges it to be an extraordinary production. Messrs. pUnts of the St an wick Nectarine— some estab is bed in pots 



Lee hope to produce such proof as may possibly stagger the an d well adapted f jr forcing purposes, at 2U. each, 

 learned Doctor's opinion, if it fails to convince him. For the 



present, suffice it to say that the structure of the plant is dif- 

 ferent to anything to be found in the Geranium ; the roots are 

 quite unlike any of the class, and the seed pod* arc formed 

 more like a Holhhock than a Geranium. The flowers are 

 semidouble, aud the whole truss of a monstrous form. Allow- 

 ing it to be no more than a mere sport from the Geranium, its 

 merits far exceed anything hitherto introduced as a gay border 

 ' or bedding flower.— Nursery, Hammersmith.
