NEW PLANTS. 
NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERING ZONAL PELARGONIUMS. 
Mr. William Bull begs to intimate that lie has been hybridising and raising a 
very large number of the Double-flowering Zonal Pelargoniums, and has been 
directing his attention to this section, from the impression that, ultimately, the 
double varieties will take a very important part in decorative horticulture, especially 
for bedding, cultivating in pots or vases, aud every use to which cut flowers can be 
applied. 
The principal reason why Double-flowering Pelargoniums will become so popular 
is, that the blossoms, from their duplicaticity, do not shed their petals ; hence they 
remain in flower an immenso time, and are useful in a variety of ways where the 
single kinds are almost unserviceable. 
Mr. W. B. will be happy to show his new seedling varieties of tho Double-flowering 
Pelargoniums to visitors to his establishment during the blooming season. 
ANDREW HENDERSON, one of tlie best of the double-flowering varieties, its habit and 
growth beiug after the stylo of the single-flowering varieties, and not of the usual robust and 
gross vigour of the doubles recently introduced. It also differs from all precoding varieties in its 
colour, which is a clear scarlet lake tint: The trusses are of extraordinary size, and tho individual 
flowers are very full and double. It is an admirable plant for out of door culture, and is also an 
excellent pot plant for greenhouse or conservatory decoration. 7s. 6 d. 
EMILE LEMOINE, enormous trusses of large aud vory double flowors ; colour carmine, changing 
to scarlet in the centre. It is of medium growth, and very free flowering, throwing its huge 
trusses well above the foliage. 7s. Gd. 
IMPERATRICE EUGENIE, a very free-flowering variety, with huge trusses of very double 
flowers of a beautiful bright roso colour, and of dwarf and vigorous habit. It received a prize at 
the Exposition Universelle at Paris, 18G7. 7s. 6 d. 
MADAME LEMOINE, a shrubby-growing variety, with the leavos conspicuously marked with 
a dark brown zone. It is a capital bedder, and a free bloomer, the trusses aro immonse, flowers 
very double, and perfectly formed, of a beautiful rose colour. This is the best double-flowering 
variety ever sent out. 7s. 6 d. 
MONSIEUR E. G. HENDERSON. This dwarf and free-flowering variety produces enormous 
trusses of very double flowers, which are very durable, of an exceedingly bright fiery carmine 
colour. It is showy and attractive, of dwarf and vigorous habit, and is also good for bedding. 
7s. 6 d. 
TOM POUCE MADAME ROSE CHARMEUX. This variety is exactly similar to the old 
single Tom Thumb , but with finely-formed double flowers. The trusses are very large and 
durable, the central flowers retaining their brightness of colour until the whole of the truss is 
expanded. 7s. 6 il.

NEW FUCHSIAS, 
The following* are of great excellence, and thoroughly distinct one from the other : — 
FAVOURITE, tube and sepals bright scarlet, the latter elegantly reflexed; corolla pure white, 
and bell-shaped. 7s. Gd. 
INNOCENCE, pure white tube and sepals, corolla violet rose, margined with lake, the sepals 
symmetrically reflexed. 7s. Gd. 
INSPECTOR. This variety has a very large and full purple corolla, tube and sepals crimson, the 
latter reflexed. 7s. Gd. 
LUSTRE. A welcome addition to the white-sepalled section of Fuchsias, on account of tho 
remarkably vivid crimson vermilion hue that pervades its corolla, the edges of the segments of 
which are tinted with pale orange ; tube and sepals waxy white, tho latter very elegantly 
reflexed ; excellent habit, and free bloomer. 7s. Gd.
