HEPATICA ANGULOSA. 
A magnificent new species, fully twice the size of the common Blue Hepatica in all its parts. 
Leaves five-lobed, hairy, flowers sky blue, frequently as large as a crown piece ; a plant that ought 
to bo in every garden. I 5 . ^d, and 2n. Od. 
HYDRANGEA JAPONICA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 
This splendid variety was introduced from Japan by the late Dr. V. Siebold. The trusses are of 
immense size, the flowers white, very delicately shaded with light rose. 2s. 6d. and 3s. 6rl. 
LILIUM AURATUM. 
In oonsequonoe of a large importation of the lovely and fragrant Japanese Lily, LiUum aiiratum, 
it is now offered at the undermentioned extremely low price. The golden-rayed Japanese Lily, the 
queen of this wondrous race, is now known in every garden where plants of value and beauty are 
regarded with admiration. Is. Cd., 2s. Gd., 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7s. Gd. 
LILIUM AURATUM RUBRO-VITTATUM. 
This variety is similar in its general eharacter to the preceding ; its great distinctive feature is, 
that instead of yellow bands, as in the ordinary variety of aurattim, the bands are red, and conse- 
quently very fascinating and attractive ; the spots aro also larger, and of a very bright colour.

LILIUM AURATUM. 
(VARIETIES.) 
Mr. William Bull has flowered several thousands of LiUum auratum, and among them a few of 
extraordinary beauty have been found ; these may be relied upon as being extremely fine — indeed, 
only such as are of especial merit and very distinct have been selected, otherwise nothing would 
be easier than to multiply varieties of this Lily, for it is well known that, however groat the 
general resemblance, scarcely two produce flowers exactly alike ; but although varying one from 
the other, the diflbronoe is generally not sufficient to warrant a name other than the original being 
given ; the striking beauty, however, of the following justly entitle them to that distinction : —

LILIUM AURATUM MATCHLESS, 21«.

LILIUM TIGRINUM FORTUNEI. 
A very showy and attractive variety ; it is of noble aspect, growing to the extent of 6 and 7 feet 
high, the lower flower stems running out far and free from the stalk, thus giving the infioresoenoe 
a pyramidal outline. A great number of flowers aro borne on each stem, which are of a rich deep 
scarlet colour, distinctly spotted with black. 2s. Gd. 
LILIUM SZOVITSIANUM. 
This fine hardy species produces flowers of a rich golden yellow, spotted with black. 3s. Gd., 5s., 
and 7s. Gd. 
LILIUM THUNBERGIANUM AUREUM NIGRO-MACULATUM. 
Introduced from Japan, suitable either for cultivation in pots or the open border ; it grows about 
a foot high, and produces large coppery yellow deeply-spotted blossoms, which are borne on erect 
footstalks. 26*. Gd, and 3**. 6 ^/. 
MAGNOLIA CAMPBELLII. 
Our first knowledge in Europe of this gorgeously beautiful new hardy plant was derived from a 
plate given in a very magnificent work, entitled, Illiuitrations of Himalayan Plants. The descrip- 
tions and analyses in that work are all i'rom the pen of Dr. J. D. Hooker, F.R.S., and the following 
is an extract from it : — 
“ This superb tree, which forms so conspicuous a feature in the scenery and vegetation of Dorjiling, 
was chosen by Dr, Thomson and myself to commemorate the eminent services of our friend Dr. 
Campbell, Resident at Dorjiling, in connection with the rise and progress of that important Sanata- 
rium, as also his many contributions to our knowledge of the geography and natural productions, 
arts, manufactures, and races of the Nipal and Sikkim Himalaya.
