SOLANUM DULCAMARA VARIEGATA. 
This new and beautiful Solanura is quite hardy, of free growth and excellent habit. The ground 
colour of the leaf is bright green, distinctly margined with pure white ; the blooms are a rich 
purple, succeeded by bunches of scarlet berries, giving the plant a very effective appearance. It 
is an ornamental plant for pot culture, and, being quite hardy, will prove a groat acquisition for 
bedding purposes. 3*. Gd. 
SPIRAEA PALMATA. 
In a description of this plant, given in the Botanical Magazine, No. 285, Dr. Hooker says : — “ By 
far the handsomest species of the gonus hitherto imported, and certainly one of the most beautiful 
hardy plants in cultivation ; the deep purple red of the stems and branches, passing into the 
crimson purple of the glorious broad corymbs of flowers, contrasts most exquisitely with the 
foliage, which in autumn assumes beautiful tints of brown and golden yellow.” 
It is a native of Japan, and was discovered and introduced by Mr. Fortune. 1 5a. 
STYRAX JAPONICA. 
This very pretty hardy deciduous shrub is of dwarf compact growth, with elegantly spreading 
branches, furnished with bright green elliptic leaves, and gives a profusion of white flowers, some- 
what rosembling Snowflakes. It will be a very useful plant for early forcing along with Deutzias, 
Spiraeas, &c., and an exceedingly pretty and useful shrub for borders in the open air. It is a native 
of Japan. 5s. and 7s. 6 d. 
TAXUS HIBERNICA FASTIGIATA VARIEGATA. 
(THE GOLDEN IRISH YEW.) 
This is tho exact type of the Irish Yew, with foliage of the same fine golden colour as the old 
variegated Yew. It was exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show in June, 1863, where 
it received a First Class Certificate, and again at the International Horticultural Exhibition it was 
awarded another First Class Certificate. 15*. 
THUJA OCCIDENTALIS GLOBOSA GRACILIS. 
This hybrid Thuja, although raised from seed of Thuja occidentalis, has not the slightest resem- 
blance to it. In growth it is globular and compact, with glauoous green foliage. The parent plant 
was first publicly exhibited at the International Horticultural Exhibition held in Erfurt in 1865,
