JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 
Bronze Dragon. Japonicum. 
Grandiflorum. Laciniatum. 
Eoseu.m punctatum. 
Striatum. 
Yellow Dragon. 
Seven most beautiful Japanese varieties, perfectly distinct in form from all 
others in cultivation. 2s. 6d. each. 
KERRIA JAPONICA VARIEGATA. 
A form of the well known Kerria (fiorehorus Japoniea), with the leaves edged 
with white, 5s. 
LASTREA OPACA. 
This Fem will prove a very distinct and valuable introduction for the hardy 
FERNERY. It produoes tufts of firm opaque fronds of a daik green colour, and very 
durable. The outline is almost pentangular, from the development of the basal 
posterior pinnules, and the pinnae and fronds are very gracefully acuminate. The 
fronds are bipinnately divided, the pinnules being narrow-oblong and more or less 
falcate and deeply lobed, the segments ovate, those on the hinder side of the lowest 
pinna3 being very much larger than those on the anterior side. 3s. 6d. 
LIGULARIA (FARFUGIUM) KfflMPFERI ARGENTEA. 
A striking variegated hardy herbaceous plant. In habit it is very similar to the 
F. grande, but far surpassing that species in its distinct and regular variegation. 
Its foliage is of a dai'k green coloui', largely blotched with white. lOs. 6d. 
LIGUSTRUM JAPONICUM AUREO VARIEGATUM. 
A beautiful variegated variety of the well-known Japan Privet, rendered singularly 
ornamental by its foliage being marked with bright golden blotches. 7s. 6d. 
LILIUM AURATUM. 
Of recently introduced Japanese flowering plants this is the finest. The report in 
the Gardeners' Chronicle for July, 1863, when the plant was first exhibited, thus 
speaks of it: — “Pii'st among novelties stood Lilium auratum, as far superior to 
other lilies as an egues awratus to other equites. If ever a flower merited the name 
of glorious it is this, whether we regard its size, its sweetness, or its exquisite 
arrangement of colour.” 
The flower, 8 to 10 inches across, is composed of six delicate ivory white parts, 
each being thickly studded with crimson spots, and having a bright golden band 
through its centre, 42s. and 63s.
