HORTICULTURAL JOURNAL. 45 



anticipating the above interrogatories. Still it cannot be expected that the 

 editor, or his numerous correspondents around the Quaker city, can be ac- 

 quainted with all that is new in other large cities, as New York, Boston, &c. 

 I have been induced to make these remarks, from having noticed in your 

 Journal recently one or two good lists of plants. I would like to make an 

 addition to two of these, viz : of Pelargoniums and Chrysanthemums, of 

 several varieties, which have come under my observation about New York 

 during the past summer and fall, and which I would recommend as first rate, 

 Pompone or Daisy Chrysanthemums. Eugenie, dark orange red, Amande, 

 purplish crimson, Ninon, white, tipped with rosy purple, excellent habit, 

 Argentine, silvery white, good flower and a profuse bloomer, Sacramento,, 

 golden yellow, Henriette Lebois, shaded rose, Jongleur, orange yellow, very 

 double and compact. 



Fall varieties. G-erbe $ Or, large compact yellow, Pius IX, crimson, 

 bronzy gold edged, Lady Talfourd, good white, Peruvienne, fine golden 

 yellow. 



I have called the above "Pompone or Daisy," still I think that there 

 should be a distinction made between them: for instance all those of which 

 Matricariodes is the type, and there are now three or four of them, as Lola 

 Montez, Tom Thumb, &c, Daisies, and the others Pompones. 



Pelargoniums. I will omit the colors, but these are new and first rate 

 show varieties: Duke of Cornivall, Field Marshal, Gripsy Bride, Sala- 

 mander, Crusader, 3Iagnificent, Ajax, and Ocellatum. 



As this is the time for setting the Fuchsias to work, and as there will be 

 premiums offered for them at the forthcoming exhibition, I give you a list 

 of the best 6 as far as I am able to judge : Madam Sontag, Pearl of England, 

 Elizabeth, Clapton Hero, Sir John Falstaff and Yoltigeur. The first three 

 are light varieties, and the latter dark. 



New York, January 18th, 1853. W. 



"We are much obliged to our correspondent, and hope he will continue his 

 notices, not only of florist's flowers, but of any new introductions which he 

 may meet in the collections in New York and its neighborhood. Many fine 

 plants are imported by the nurserymen there, but we do not know whether 

 amateurs import plants, as is done here to so great an extent by them. 



As to the six Fuchsias, we think that with Fair Rosamond, Diadem of 

 Flora and Expansion, light, and Attraction, Sir John Falstaff and Volti- 

 geur, dark varieties, we could beat his six. Attraction is the best colored 

 dark variety we have ever seen, and has the fullest corolla. — Ed.

 Horticultural Society for 1853.
