NEW AND RARE HARDY PLANTS. 
REINECKIA CARNEA VARIEGATA. 
This is an exceedingly pretty neat-growing variegated-foliaged plant, producing very attractive 
rosy white flowers. Is. 6 d. and 2s. 6 d. 
RETINOSPORA LEPTOCLADA. 
A distinct and handsome plant, and one of the hardiest of hardy Conifers. It is eroct and pyra- 
midal in growth, branching proportionately wide at the base, and tapering upwards to a gracefully 
attenuate point. The colour of its growth is a fine silvery glaucous tint. 2s. 6 d., 3s. Gd., and 5s.

RHODODENDRON CAUCASICUM FLAVIDUM. 
This new and interesting addition to our hardy evergreen shrubs, is very distinct from the ordinary 
typo of R. caucasicmi, with rose coloured flowers, and long known in cultivation. In tho new 
variety now introduced the flowers are of a pale straw yellow, thickly spotted on the upper seg- 
ment with deep green dots. It is a native of the Caucasian mountains. Small plants, 7s. 6 d. 
RHODODENDRON METTERN1CHII. 
A fine ornamental evergreen shrub, with oblong or obovate-oblong acute leathory loaves, which 
aro forrugineo-tomeutose beneath. It has terminal corymbose heads of from ten to fifteen largo sub- 
campanulate flowers, of a beautiful rose colour. Being a native of tho mountains of Japan, it is 
probably quite hardy in this country. 10s. Gd. 
RHODODENDRON MULTIFLORUM. 
This beautiful and truly novel variety is a dwarf bushy-growing hardy evergreen plant, with 
Myrtle-like loaves, and bearing white flowers about the size and form of those of an Indian Azalea ; 
they are produced from the axil of every leaf about half way down each branch, forming a porfect 
mass of flowers ; it grows freely, and endures the winter unprotected without the least injury, though 
to bloom it well it should be taken up, potted, and placed under glass in October. It will then flower 
in mid-winter or early spring, according to the temperature of the place. 5s. and 7s. Gd. 
SAXIFRAGA FORTUNEI. 
This is an exceedingly handsome Japanese plant ; it produces fine corymbs of white blossoms at a 
season when flowers are very scarce — viz., September, October, aud November. Being an ousily 
cultivated plant, it is an exceedingly desirable introduction. Is. 6d., 2s. Gd., and 3s. Gd. 
SELAGINELLA JAPONICA. 
This interesting plant has been introduced from Japan, and has proved itself to be quite hardy 
in this country. Is. Gd. and 2s. 6 d. 
SALIX BABYLONICA MASCULA, 3s. Gd. | SKIMMIA JAPONICA, Is. Gd. and 2s. Gd. 
SKIMMIA OBLATA. 
A most boautiful Japanese evergreen shrub, producing berries of the brightest vermilion. This 
is ono of Mr. Fortune’s discoveries, and proves to be quite distinct from all other Skimmias as yet 
known, hi the remarkably oblate shape of its bright red berries, so obviously different from tho dull 
red oblong fruit of other Skimmias. It is also strikingly distinct in its foliage, which is of a different 
texture, as well as in its habit, from the other speoies known to us. It is a free-growing shrub, 
with dense clear green leaves, the panicles of bright coloured berries nestling amongst the foliage 
at tho ends of the branches. 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7s. Gd.
