Souvenir cl'une Amie, an improvement on Princess Maria, a strong 

 grower of a rich rose color. 



Triomphe de Luxembourg, large, salmon color, desirable for its 

 free growth and profuse bloom in hot weather. 



Vicomte de Cazes, bright yellow, of rather weak growth very 

 distinct. 



There are several others of equally fine character and beauty that 

 are nearly related to some of the above ; for instance, Madam Wil- 

 lermoz, Nephetos, and Clara Sylvain are three fine whites. LaReine, 

 Goubault, Moire, and Lyonnais are all fine, and approach Mareschal 

 Bugeaucl or Triumph of Luxembourg. I succeed admirably with 

 the Tea Roses budded on low strong stocks; they are more hardy, 

 make fine strong growths, and their heavy pendulous flowers are 

 kept from the ground ; being convinced of this, I am endeavoring 

 to have them all on stocks about IS inches or two feet high. Those 

 who grow them in more favored climates should procure them all 

 on their own roots or budded very low.

LESCHENAULTIA FORMOSA. 



This although by no means a rare plant, is yery rarely seen in 

 good health. To produce it in perfection requires a little more 

 careful treatment than is given to an Abutilon or a Salvia. There 

 is no real difficulty in the management of New Holland plants, pro- 

 vided a proper course of culture is pursued. Although the weather 

 is neither brighter nor warmer here than in many parts of Austra- 

 lia, still it is found necessary under artificial treatment to shade and 

 protect them from the direct influence of the natural atmosphere at 

 certain seasons. It is too much a practice to treat all plants alike. 

 Have you got all your plants out yet? is a question frequently asked 

 about this time, and one I cannot understand. In a collection of 

 greenhouse plants at all worthy of the name, a constant change and 

 re-arrangement is requisite, some requiring full exposure to the at- 

 mosphere, others young and tender requiring artificial atmosphere 

 suited to their conditions. The growing season even in the most 

 arid and warm climates is characterised by frequent rains, and still
