blooming-time is prolonged throughout the season, so that it will be invaluable for cxliibition purposes, 
and as a free growing climber unequalled. The habit is good, with excellent rich dark green glossy 
foliage. A well-executed drawing of it, by Andrews, can be seen at my establishment. 
It has received two First-class Certificates for its superior merit.

AMARYLLIS ALBERTI FLORE PLENO. 
This magnificent variety has been introduced from Cuba. The flowers have a brilliant orangc-red 
ground, shot with a fresh bright carmine. The base of the petals is of a whitish yellow. The flower is 
six inches in diameter. Instead of anthers there are thirty to forty petals, which form a perfect and 
regularly-shaped flower. 
The peduncle, which grows to the height of a foot, or rather more, regularly puts forth two flowers, 
of which the first that is developed takes a perfectly upright position, while the second leans sidewards. 
The largest bulbs attain a diameter of 2 inches ; and it is to be especially remarked that they may 
bo easily propagated by offsets from the parent bulbs.

ANTHURIUM GRANDIS. 
A strikingly beautiful ornamental plant, introduced by the Roy.al Horticultural Society from South 
America, through their collector, Mr. Weir. Its large cordate leaves in mature specimens are about 2 
feet in diameter; the ground colour is of a velvety olive green, intersected with whitish ribs and 
yellowish tinted veins. When in its young state the leaves are of a coppery pink hue, gradually 
changing into a beautiful green as the plant acquires age. 
This is a most desirable acquisition to our fine foliaged plants, and undoubtedly one of the best new 
ones in the ornamental section. It will prove an excellent plant for exhibition purposes. 
This plant has also been distributed under the names of A. magnijhum and A. cordifolium.
