SPECIALITIES. 
CIITEBABIA, extra choice mixed. — Vide page 7. 
63 CINEBABIA HYBBIDA ELOBE PLENO. — This new strain of Double-ilowering Cine- 
rarias arc of the greatest possible interest, and will doubtless prove the forerunners of an entirely 
new race, they are perfectly and evenly double, being entirely made up of ligulete florets, as in 
the case of a double-flowered Jacobaja, Senedo degans, whicli they much resemble; they embrace 
all the colours usually found amongst Cinerarias, viz., crimson, magenta, purple, both dark and 
light ; as well as flowers tipped with several difl'ereut tints of violet and magenta. 2s. 6d. per 
per packet of 100 seeds. 
64 CLIAETHTJS DAllPIEBI. — It is advisable to sow the seeds singly in small 60-sized pots, to 
allow the seedling plants to be transferred to larger ones without risk or injury to the roots 
in their most tender state ; the successive shifts should be made into tolerably sized pots. The 
compost re commended as most suitable for cultivation is well-pulverised yoUow loam, with one- 
sixth part of sand, leaf-mould and broken charcoal, well incorporated. Is. 6<i. per packet. 
65 CLIANTHUS DAMPIEBI “GEBMAN FLAG” (New).— A splendid novelty; the 
upper petals of this new Clianthus are fiery red, the centre bluish black, with velvet-like shine ; 
the lower' petals are pure white With red edge, thus showing the German national colours ; black, 
white, and red ; it is a most profuse bloomer, one plant freciuently producing from two to three 
hundred well-formed flowers ; in the parts of Prussia from whence this plant originates, it is 
looked upon as quite hardy. 3s. Sd, )ier packet containing 10 seeds. 
66 COCKSCOUB “GLASGOW PBIZE.” — Saved from one of the finest strains in cultivation, 
having been awarded numerous pi'izes. This well-known and beautiful tender annual is of a 
highly decorative character, equally valuable for conservatory, sitting room, or flower garden. 
Is. per packet. 
67 COLEUS, choice hybridized. — These seeds have been produced by fertilization, and saved 
from the handsome varieties introduced by Mil. William Bull. The greatest pains have been 
taken that the varieties should bo so blended as to give, not only a diversified, but an entirely 
new cliaracter. The colours in the different seedlings will embrace many shades of glowing red, 
magenta, crimson, purple, and claret ; while in different varieties the marking and blotches will 
be varied almost indefinitely, some of the leaves being handsomely marked with crilnooli on an 
olive ground, blotched with crimson on a green ground, while others will be gi'een margined 
with crimson, and vice versa, the lustrous tints, striking venations, and peculiar shot silk-like 
appearance making them immensely attractive. Is. 6d. and 2s. Sd. per packet. 
68 COLLINSIA HETEBOFHYLLA. — This very pretty species resembles the well-known Col- 
linsia bicolor in general habit, but is readily distinguished from it by its three-lobed, and some- 
times pinnately divided lower foliage, and by the violet purple of its flowers. The throat of the 
corolla is always open, whilst in 0. bicolor it is almost closed. 6d. per packet. 
69 COLLINSIA VIOLACEA. — Of similar habit to C. verna, but more compact and bushy, 
growing from 9 to 12 inches high, the foliage narrowly lanceolate, in whorls of from five to eight 
leaves, from the axils of which the flowers are produced. These are slightly smaller than those 
of C. verna, but are of a better form, and have the upper lip nearly pure white, and the lower 
one of a deep violet blue. 6ii. per packet. 
70 CONVOLVULUS MAUBITANICUS. — A beautiful trailing half.hardy perennial, bearing a 
profusion of lavender coloured blooms, admirably ada'pted for suspending baskets, rock -work, 
and edgings. 6<f. per packet.
