NEW AND RARE HARDY PLANTS. 
DIMORPHUS MANDSHURICUS. 
This noblo deciduous shrub has been introduced from Mandshurie, and therefore is perfectly 
hardy. Its han,dsome multifid 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. 
Price 3 55. each. 
FORSYTHIA FORTUNEI. 
This plant from Pekin flowers in the spring, in a similar manner to F. viridissima, but in this new 
introduction the flowers are much larger and of a bright golden yellow ; the foliage also is broadly 
ovate, while that of F. viridissima is oblong-lanceolate. 
Price 2 s. Gd. each. 
GUNNERA MANICATA. 
This majestic species originates from cold and freezing regions, known in Southern Brazil under 
the name of Campos de Lages. It is one of the last and best discoveries of the collector M. Libon, 
who found them in marshy parts, and at the foot of the principal source of Sierra do Mar. From the 
conscientious account of this traveller, every leaf of this Gunnera acquires about 15 feet in circum- 
ference, and one can easily imagine the space this colossal plant covers. Being quite hardy, it is 
destined to become one of our most beautiful ornamental plants, one admirable for planting on lawns 
and other picturesque purposes. 
Price 15s. each. 
GYNERIUM ELEGANS COMPACTUM FOL. NIVEO-VITTATIS.

LILIUM AURATUM. 
In consequence of a large importation of the lovely aud fragrant Japanese Lily, Lilium auratum, 
it is now offered at the undermentioned extremely low price. The golden-rayod Japanese Lily, the 
queen of this wondrous race, is now known in every garden where plants of value aud beauty are 
regarded with admiration. The excitement resultant from its first presentation to public notice in 
England was no greater than that which occurred on the Continent, for indeed, in every great city 
of Europe, Lilium auratum has had an ovation. Being now so well known, description of this 
gorgeously beautiful Lily is almost needless, but it may be as well to remark that it has proved 
iiself as hardy in the open ground as any of the common Lilies j it is therefore admirably adapted 
for cultivating either in the greenhouse, conservatory, or open air. 
Price Is. Gd., 2s. Gd., 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7 s. Gd. each.
