MESEMBRYANTHEMUM CORDIFOLIUM VARIEGATUM. 
An exceedingly attractive variegated-foliaged plaht, remarkably well adapted for out-door summer 
bedding. The branches are furnished with flat fleshy heart-shaped leaves, distinctly margined with 
cream colour, and form a diffuse yellowish mass, entirely covering the surface of the ground. This 
has proved one of the most distinct and attractive bedding plants of the season ; indeed, it is difficult 
to convey an adequate idea of its efiect, when used as an edging or in groups by itself. The flowers 
are bright rosy purple. 1^. Gd. 
MIMULUS TILINGII. 
An annual species discovered by Dr. Tiling, near Nevada city, in the Sierra Nevada of California. 
Standing in beds together, the plants are of perfectly erect growth, whereas the outside branches 
standing singly, assume a more spreading habit, and form a more or less broad pyramid, terminated 
by flower spikes thickly set with pure golden yellow fmely-sliaped flowers. The rich bright colour, 
and the great abundance of flowers continuously open at one time, render the plant an object of 
great attraction. 1^. Gd.

superior features to those fine species. It is of more erect and elegant habit than the former, and 
more compact than the latter, with abundant flowers of an exceedingly beautiful azure blue tint ; 
more brilliant than either of the kinds quoted. Is. each ; 9s. per dozen. 
NIEREMBERGIA FRUTESCENS. 
This pretty little plant has been introduced to Europe from the Andes of Chili. It has stood un- 
protected in the open ground near Paris, and may therefore be expected to prove nearly hardy in 
this country ; flowers white, tinged with violet, throat yellow. Is. 
PERISTROPHE ANGUSTIFOLIA AUREO-VARIEGATA. 
This very elegant Acanthad has been awarded a First Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of 
the Royal Horticultural Society, and is a most beautiful edging plant for summer bedding. The 
leaves are ovate-lanceolate, bright orange in the centre, and margined with dark green j in habit it 
is dwarf and compact, but of free growth ; as a pot or basket plant it is very beautiful, and although 
the flowers are not remarkable for size, their bright mauve purple colour forms a striking and 
agreeable contrast with the orange colour of the leaves. It has been introduced from the mountains 
of Java. 2s. Gd.

banded and striped with white, so as to form an elegant variegation. It makes a fine parti-coloured 
mass in the herbaceous border, and is well adapted for planting in lines. Is. Gd.
