NEW AND RARE HARDY PLANTS. 
CUPRESSUS LAWSONIANA AUREO-VARIEGATA. 
A most attractive and beautiful golden variegated seedling variety ; in habit it has all tho 
graceful characteristics of the species, with perhaps a greater inclination to a weeping habit, os. 
CUPRESSUS LAWSONIANA ERECTA VIRIDIS. 
This magnificent shrub is one of the finest of all evergreens. It is tall and closo-growing in habit, 
forming beautiful pyramidal specimens as upright in growth as an Irish Yew. It is in every sense 
an evergreen, for despite any amount of cold or heat, damp or drought, it maintains throughout, 
from the circumference to the centre, a hue of the freshest green. This constancy, in a plant of this 
character, is one of the highest recommendations it can bear. It increases in beauty as it advances 
in size.. 
In the symmetrical outline of the tree itself, in the regularly radiating vertical ramifications, and 
in the slender graceful character of the everywhere erect spray, there is about this plant an air of 
refinement rarely met with, and which, combined with its bright and enduring verdure, stamps it as 
a gem of the first order amongst hardy evergreens. 5s. and 7s. Gd. 
CUPRESSUS LAWSONIANA PENDULA ALBA, 
A remarkably graceful hardy evergreen shrub, with pendulous branches, entirely of a beautiful 
whitish or glaucous hue. The graceful pendent habit, and distinct andnovel silvery shade of colour, 
render this plant most desirable for all collections of hardy trees. It is an exceedingly useful and 
effective omamental-foliaged shrub. 15s. 
DAPHNIPHYLLUM ROXBURGHII. 
A deciduous tree, belonging to the natural order JluphovhiaceeB . It has an extensive geographical 
range ; the plants here offered are from Japan. As known in gardens, it has an erect twiggy habit, 
with oblong-obovate or ovate opposite deep green leaves, and it ultimately bears axillary racemes of 
minute fiowers. It is also called D. glauccscens. 3s. Gd. 
DELPHINIUM ALOPECUROIDES. 
A distinct and handsome variety, of robust habit ; it blooms in Juno and July. Tho spikes of 
bloom are generally 2 feet in length, densely clothed with very full and compact double flowers, the 
ground colour of which is a creamy white, therefore in reality a blue-edged flower, though from its 
fulness it presents the appearance of a bright blue self, paler and somewhat shaded towards the 
centre. Is. Gd. and 2s. Gd. 
DESMODIUM PENDULIFLORUM. 
This admirable Japanese novelty is one of the most attractive of flowering shrubs. Its drooping 
branches are entirely hidden by millions of deep rich purple flowers, which are successively pro- 
duced from the end of August to the beginning of winter ; on a lawn, tho effect is exceedingly 
striking. 5s. 
DEUTZIA CRENATA CANDIDISSIMA PLENA. 
An exceedingly free-flowering variety, producing fine large, very double, pure white flowers. It 
will be a very useful winter and spring-blooming plant, and looks extremely elegant when covered 
with its largo bunches of pure white flowers. 3s. Gd. 
DIMORPHANTHUS MANDCHURICUS. 
This noble deciduous shrub has been introduced from Mandchuria, and therefore is perfectly 
hardy. Its handsome mnltifid leaves are about a yard in length, and as much in breadth, the mere 
mention of which conveys some idea of the grand effect this plant produces. 6s.
