DIPLADENIA BREARLEYANA. 
This splendid variety of Dipladenia is one of the best exhibition plants extant. It is of 
free gi’owth, and of the most fioriferous character, in this respect greatly exceeding any other Diphi- 
denia. It is an evergi’een stove climber of the very first rank, and is furnislicd with opposite oblong 
acute dark green leaves, which serve as a fine contrast for the superbly coloured flowers, which arc ot 
the largest size, opening pink and changing to the richest crimson colour ; they have, moreover, this 
peculiarity, that the colour increases in intensity with the ago of the flowers. Beautiful ns were the 
Dipladenias of some few years since, they have been quite eclipsed by the improved varieties whieli 
have been obtained, and amongst these D. Brcarlcyana is certainly the most distinct and beautiful, 
75. Qd. and 10s. 6rf. ; extra sizes, 1 and guinea.
