Scuttelaria Mociniana. 
A showy stoveliouse shrub of mediuin height, with 
handsome obovate foliage, bearing panicles of fine tube- 
shaped bright scarlet flowers; the inside of the lip is yel- 
low, and the tube is covered with short, tine hair. It is a 
rapid-growing and free-flowering plant, which will be use- 
ful in any stove collection. $2. 
Symplocos crataegoides. 
(Jackson Dawson.) 
A remarkable and entirely unique new hardy shrub 
from Japan, alike attractive for its foliage, flowers and 
fruit. The leaves are shaped somewhat like tliose of the 
plum, and are dark, glossy green. In June the plant is 
covered with beautiful white hawthorn-like flowers, car- 
ried in panicles ; these are succeeded by a plentiful setting 
of bright, clear blue berries, about the size of holly berries, 
which remain on the plant until frost comes. The shrub 
is of rapid and handsome growth, reaching a height of 
5 to 6 feet, and its fine blue effect gives it especial value to 
the ornamental planter. It is attractive and decorative 
at all stages of growth, either in flower, foliage or fruit.

New Syringas. 
SYRINGA Marie I^e Gray. The best white lilac in 
cultivation. It is of dwarf and compact habit, and the 
pure white flowers are produced in great abundance. 
Especially adapted for winter forcing. jSi. 
S. 1-o.sea sisantea. Probably the largest-flowering lilac 
of all the list now in cultivation. It is strong and robust 
habit, with very large foliage, and produces great pan- 
icles of rosy pink flowers. The florets are double the 
ordinary size. §2.50. 
Thunbergia affinis. 
This beautiful species, introduced from Zanzibar, is one 
of the handsomest plants of the genus. When cultivated 
in pots, it assumes a dwarf, compact habit, the flowers 
being of large size and very rich, bright purple, with an 
orange-yellow throat. I2.50 to S5, 
Yucca frlamentosa a urea variegata. 
A charming acquisition, with much of the habit and 
character of the plain K ftlameiitosa, but with leaves 
beautifully and strongly variegated and broadly margined 
with rich, creamy white, which in the sun and strong light 
becomes golden yellow ; perfectly hardy. S3.
