63 CINERARIA HYBRIDA FLORE PLENO. — This new strain of Douhle-flowering Cine- 
rarias 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 Jacobaea, Scnecio clegans, 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. 6rf. per 
packet of 50 seeds. 
64 OLIANTHUS DAMPIERI “ GERMAN FLAG” (New;.— A splendid novelty; the 
upper petals of tliis new Clianthus are fiery red, the centre bluish black, with velvet-lilce 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 parts of Prussia from whence this plant originates, it is 
looked upon as quite hardy. 3s. Sd, per packet containing 10 seeds. 
65 COLEUS, choice hybridized. — These seeds have been produced by fertilization, and saved 
from the handsome varieties introduced by Mn. 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 ivill be varied almost indefinitely, some of the leaves being handsomely marked with 
crimson on an olive gi'ound, blotched 'with crimson on a green gi-ound, while others will be 
green margined ivith crimson, and vice versa, the lustrous tints, striking venations, and peculiar 
shot silk-like appearance making them immensely attractive. Is. 6d. and 2s. 6d. per packet. 
66 COLLINSIA HETEROPHYLLA. — This very pretty species resembles the well known Col- 
linsia hicolor in general habit, but is readily distinguished from it by its three-lobed, and some- 
times piuuately divided lower foliage, and by the violet purple of its flowers. The throat of the 
corolla is always open, whilst in 0. hicolor it is almost closed. 6cl. per packet. 
67 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 eiglit 
leaves, from the a.iuls 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. 6d. per packet. 
68 CONVOLVULUS MAURITANICUS. — A beautiful trailing half-hardy perennial, bearing a 
profusion of lavender coloured blooms, admirably adapted for suspending baskets, rock-work, 
and edgings. 6d. per packet.

71 DELPHINIUM IMPERIALE FL. PL. (Emperor Larkspur). — Of symmetrical bushy 
habit, forming fine compact equally proportioned specimens of IJ feet in diameter ; both in 
respect to habit and doubleuess of flower this novelty is possessed of great constancy, whereby 
it is most particularly adapted for groups, &c., a single plant frequently having upwards of 50 
close erect spikes of flowers upon it. Mixed colours. 6d. per packet.
