NIEREMBERGIA FRUTESCENS. 
This extremely pretty littlo plant has been introduced to Europe from the Andes of Chili. It has 
stood unprotected in the open ground near Paris, and may therefore be expected to prove nearly, 
if not quite, hardy in this country. 
It makes a beautiful object for the summer garden, quite as profuso in flower as If. gracilis, but 
with much larger flowers. These are white, tinged with violet, the throat being yellow, with deep 
violet rays. 
Price Is. 6 cl. each. 
NEW BEDDING PANSY “IMPERIAL BLUE.” 
This is without exception the finest blue Pansy ever offered. In colour it is similar to the dark

colour. Tho plant is of vigorous compact growth, and easily increased ; a striking novelty and 
great acquisition, and being of a more deep blue than the Cliveden, is quite distinct, and will 
undoubtedly be universally cultivated when better known. Received Certificates at the Royal 
Horticultural and Botanical Societies, London, 1866.
