DRACOCEPHALUM RUYSCHIANA, VAR. JAPONICUM.— : 
‘‘This is a hardy herbaceous perennial, 18 to 24 inches in height, branch- 
ing from the base. The violet blue flowers, 1} inch in length, are in 
terminal verticillasters, intermixed with numerous obovate acuminate 
leafy bracts. It is a very pretty and effective herbaceous plant, and one 
well adapted for bedding out. Westrongly recommend it to all lovers 
of hardy plants. It was introduced to Messrs. Veitch’s establishment by 
Mr. Maries, and when we saw it in a large patch on one of the sunny 
slopes of Coombe Wood Nursery, we thought we had seen few, if any, 
finer things of its class.’",—Gardner’s Chronicle.......0.seccceecssrececs soncenens $ 0 75

to the Denticulata group, having densely mealy leaves (in some cases,

inches high, of pretty purple flowers. Deciduous in winter..............+0+ 0 75 
NEW HYBRID VIOLA (Mrxep). “This is an entirely new strain 
of Viola from anything hitherto introduced, and consists of the Viola 
with all the well defined markings of the Fancy Pansy. from deep black 
to bright bronze, and striped and spotted in an extraordinary manner.”.. 0 75 
TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS. These novel and beautiful 
varieties will be found admirably adapted for the summer and autumn 
decoration of the greenhouse and conservatory ; for they produce in the 
utmost profusion magnificent flowers of very large size, and great variety 
in color. They do not require stove cultivation, but will succeed well in 
a greenhouse. The tubers rest during the winter months, similar to 
Gloxinias, and ean be easily re-started into growth in the spring. Their 
profuse flowering quality, and the charming variety of color of their 
blossoms, render them extremely showy and effective. Saved from our
