NOVELTIES AND SPECIALITIES.

47 CINERARIA LASTRAEFOLIA.— A distinct and effective new variety, of robust but compact 
growth ; its leaves arc regularly lobed, and have some resemblance to those of Lastrca cristata. 
is. Od. per packet. 
48 CINERARIA, extra choice mixed. — Saved from flowers unsurpassed for perfection of form and 
richness of colour, including many brilliant shades of seifs, and blues and reds, with white 
centres. Is. Od. and is. 6 d. per packet. 
49 CINERARIA HYBRIDA FLORE PLENO.— This new strain of Double-flowering Cinerarias 
are 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 ligulate florets, as in the 
case of a double-flowered Jacoboea, Senccio clctjans, which 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 different tints of violet and magenta. 2s. Od. per 
packet of 50 seeds. 
50 CLIANTHUS DAMPIERI. — Saved from the only cultivated collection in Australia — the whole 
stock has been purchased by Mr. William Bull. The collection from which this seed was 
saved consists of about twenty beautiful varieties. Is. Od. per packet. 
51 CLIANTHUS DAMPIEEI “GERMAN 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 frequently producing from two to three 
hundred well formed flowers ; in the part of Prussia from whence this plant originates, it is 
looked upon as quite hardy. 3s. Od. per packet containing 10 seeds. 
52 COLEUS, choice hybridized. — These seeds may be expected to produce very magnificent and 
distinct new sorts. They have been produced by fertilization, and saved from the handsome 
varieties introduced by Mr. William Bull. The greatest pains have been taken that the 
varieties should be so blended as to give, not only a diversified, but an entirely new character. 
The colours in the different seedlings will embrace many shades of glowing red, magenta, 
crimson, purple, and claret ; while in the different varieties the marking and blotches will be 
varied almost indefinitely, some of the leaves being handsomely marked with crimson on an 
olive ground, blotched with crimson on a green ground, while others will be green margined 
with crimson, and vice versa, the lustrous tints, striking venations, and peculiar shot silk-like 
appearance making them immensely attractive. Is. Od. and 2s. 6 <7. per packet. 
53 COLLINSIA HETEROPHYLLA,— This very pretty species resembles the well known Collinsia 
bicolor in general habit, but is readily distinguished from it by its tliree-lobed, and sometimes 
pinnately divided lower foliage, and by the violet purple of its flowers. The throat of the 
corolla is always open, whilst in C. bicolor it is almost closed. Is. per packet. 
54 COLLINSIA VIOLACEA.— Of similar habit to G. 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. Is. per packet. 
55 CONVOLVULUS MAURITANICUS. — A beautiful trailing half hardy perennial, bearing a 
profusion of lavender-coloured blooms, admirably adapted for suspending baskets, rock-work, 
and edgings. Od. per packet. 
56 CYCLAMEN PERSICUM.— This has been saved from one of the finest prize collections extant, 
and is of a very different description from the Cyclamen seed ordinarily sold. It may be expected 
to produce the largest feathered and all the best varieties peculiar to this family ; the colours 
of the flowers embracing pink, carmine, blush, rose, and purple, together with the mottled and 
striped flowers so rarely met with. Is. 6d. and 2s. 6tf. per packet. 
57 DAHLIA. — Saved from the finest show flowers. Is. per packet. 
58 DAUBENTONIA COCCINEA.— A shrubby growing plant, attaining a height of from 18 to 
24 inches, of neat compact habit. The branches are horizontally produced, and arc furnished 
with oblong elliptic foliage. The flowers are borne in axillary bunches, and are of a reddish 
crimson colour outside, and orange red in the interior. Is. per packet. 
59 DELPHINIUM IMPERIALE FL. PL. (Emperor Larkspur.)— Of symmetrical bushy 
habit, forming fine compact equally proportioned specimens of li feet in diameter ; both in 
respect to habit and doubleness of flower this novelty is possessed of great constancy, whereby 
it is most particularly adapted for groups, &e., a single plant frequently having upwards of 50 
close erect spikes of flowers upon it. Mixed colours. Is. per packet.
