76 HESPERIS SPECIOSA, this hardy perennial we offer advisedly ; the introducer states that he is unac- 



quainted with its nativity, but our botanical authorities give a Hesperis speciosa from Siberia, and 

 describe it as rosy purple, and ^ ft. high. The present plant is described by the introducer as "i^ft. high, 

 with leaves of a glossy green, the flower stem ending in numerous bunches of dark lilac flowers." 

 The flowers are single, but the introducer expects that by cultivation a race of double varieties 

 may be obtained, which will form a grand acquisition to bedding plants 1 o

90 MARIGOLD, USHER'S PRIZE FRENCH. Last year we could only give the introducer's own de- 



scription — " I have been improving this plant for upwards of twenty- five years, and think I 

 have now got it to perfection." It is with no small degree of pleasure that we confirm the estimate 

 that the raiser put forth of his flower. For many years we have grown Marigolds, but in no single 

 instance have we seen amongst the doubles so large a proportion of high-class flowers, each 

 flower having the ray petals developed to the centre, smooth, even, and uniform, the flowers of 

 large size, and with fine rich colours. We recommend the seed (which has been saved by us from 

 these high-class flowers) to those who grow this plant for exhibition purposes, or who admire the 

 Marigold is. and 2 6

indicate it as the most distinct of all, and the most desirable for forming Tree Mignonette in pots.
