Hortensis Variegata. . An old variety which is now but 



rarely met with, but which is well worthy of extensive cultiva- 

 tion, it forming a pleasing object either as a pot plant or when 

 planted in the open border on account of its handsomely varie- 

 gated foliage, the ground color of which is a creamy white, with 

 irregular blotches and markings of light and dark green in the 

 centre.

MARANTA LIETZEI. 



New Giant Montbretia " Germania." 



This new Montbretia has been under our observation for the 

 past five years, when it first originated, and we can fully endorse 

 the originator's description, which follows herewith : 



" This splendid acquisition is the result of a cross between 

 Crocosmia aurea imperialis and some varieties of Montbretia. 

 Having inherited the vigorous growth of the Crocosmias, it, 

 however, produces no offsets which characterize the Crocos- 

 mias, but possesses the dwarf and bushy growth of Montbretia 

 Etoile de Feu. 



" It grows about 3^ feet high, is of sturdy habit, much 

 branched, and produces most graceful spikes in the greatest pro- 

 fusion. They are well furnished with large six-petalled, widely 

 expanded flowers, measuring over 3 inches across, probably the 

 largest of the genus. The color is a rich glowing scarlet, 

 shading to brilliant orange, with a blood-red throat. The buds 

 and also the reverse of the petals are blood-red, a most striking 

 combination of colors, making a grand effect." 



Nothing can excel the great display this novelty produces 

 when planted in masses, while as a summer cut-flower it is in- 

 valuable.
