NEW PETUNIA COUNTESS OF ELLESMERE. 
This variety has been introduced in England, during the past season, and it is 
said to supersede every Petunia hitherto grown, either for bedding purposes or 
pot culture. Mr. John Smith, of Lancashire, describes the flowers as of ""mod- 
erate size, with a fine bold outline; color a rich bright scarlet with clear white eye, 
a profuse bloomer, and making a most effective bed ; indeed it was the most con- 
spicuous bedding plant in the whole of our flower garden, which was filled with 
the showiest and most dazzling kinds of flowering plants." By those who have 
received it, the unusual commendation is given, that " it has far exceeded expect- 
ations." 50 cents each, $5 per dozen. 
PETUNIA IMPERIALIS. 
A new double white variety, very double, and fragrant ; is well adapted to pot- 
culture, but is not suitable for bedding purposes. 50 cents each. 
NEW VERBENAS. 
Mrs. Holford, splendid white, was the best of this color at the English exhibitions 
the past season ; truss large, and habit good. 
Lady Kerrison, blush white, with large yellow eye, crimson and rose spot on the 
upper petals. 
Mrs. Hosier Williams (Bank's), "pure white, and is not injured by bad weather, 
and may be depended upon for making a fine bed." This is more than can 
be said of any other variety in this color. 
Novelty (seedling), flowers medium size, brilliant crimson, with very conspicuous 
white eye, the most conspicuous flower in my collection, the past season.

WEGELIA COR^ENSIS. 
This variety of Wegelia, has been discovered within a few years, and sent out 
under the name of Amabalis. Its habit of growth being somewhat similar to W. 
Rosea, the latter has been sent out as a substitute, in many cases. Among other 
difterences, it possesses the very iuiportatit quality of flowering in autumn. Dr. 
Lindley says of it, (Gardner's Chronicle, London, October 8, 1856,) "We have now 
a specimen, loaded with most brilliant, deep, rose-colored flowers. In our judg- 
ment, it is, beyond all comparison, the best autumnal shrub, after the rose." Price 
50 cents each, $5 per dozen.
