128 THE FLORIST AND 



attention was a Tropaeolum named Pulcherrimum, a hybrid between T. Lob- 

 bianum and Peregrinum, a beautiful winter flowering greenhouse climbing 

 plant. Several fine flowering plants of Forsythia viridissima, from the 

 borders, were much admired. This early flowering hardy plant should be 

 in every door yard. 



In Mr. John Feast's collection of Camellias was a plant in flower of his 

 fine seedling Mrs. Lurman, a beautiful mottled, imbricated flower; seedling 

 Cinerarias, Fortune's yellow rose, Burchelia capensis, Cytisus elegans, (a 

 beautiful and much neglected greenhouse plant) Petunias, Verbenas, and a 

 large flowering plant of Cactus Samphiroides were also in this collection. 



Messr, Pentland, Greenmount Gardens, exhibited a few of their superb 

 seedling Verbenas; these gentlemen have been eminently successful in the 

 improvement of this now popular flower — several blooms of roses were 

 noticed as fine, Pius 9th, Gen. Cavaignac, Louis Napoleon, Aurora di 

 Guido, Madam Ami, Lodowiski, and Madame Bosanquet, several bouquets 

 were also in this collection. 



Various contributions were sent by E. Kurtz, J. Galloway, E. Whittimore
