Facts are every day multiplying, indicative of 

 two forms of fructification in Fungi, as in Al^ae. 

 Fries, with his usual tact, has in great measure 

 anticipated many late discoveries, but so loii > his 

 notions rested upon mere acuteness of intellect, 

 without the certainty of actual vision, many of his 

 most profound views could be regarded merely as 

 theories, suggestive indeed of matter for much in- 

 vestigation, but not entitled to be recorded as so 

 many truths actually acquired by science. We 

 have lately adverted to one or two instances of 

 double fructification, and we have now before us 

 one which is most striking. A large and beautiful 

 Sphceria occurred during the present summer, run- 

 ning over the ground and spreading to every neigh- 

 bouring tuft of Moss and fallen leaf, covering them 

 at first with a mouse-coloured felt, and soon develop- 

 ing its large perithecia with very much the appear- 

 ance of the well-known Sphceria aquila. On exami- 

 nation, it proved perfectly distinct from that species, 

 as indeed might have been expected from the pecu- 



SCARLET Gl-RANIUM "TUE AAlAZoa." 



HUGH LOW axd Co. having purchased from Mr. 

 Carpenter, of Rath, the entire Block of the above-named 

 new SCARLET GERANIUM, have great pleasure in < ffering 

 it to a ad irers of showy ornamental plants. It is of robust 

 habit, ^ most brilliant colour, and a very free bloomer; and 

 from the encomiums wh^ch have already been passed upon it 

 by compe nt Judges, who had opportunities of seeing it in 

 Perfection in the nursery of the successful raiser, H. L. and Co. 

 feel confident it will be considered as ornamental in addition 

 ta our flower pardeu plants as its prototype wae to the Great 

 Exhibition. The following is the report of the Floricultural 

 Editor of the Gardeners' (Chronicle, and H. L, and Co. do not 

 oesita'e to say, it is the best Scarlet Geranium ever offered to 

 the public : — 



•'Pelargoniums: E Carpen \ An excellent scarlet, robust 

 in habit, and a profuse bloomer ; trusses very lar^e ; each pip 

 of excellent shape; petals substantial; together forming a 

 globular head, rarely deformed by seed vessels ; colour bril-
