Few plants are snore attractive than these when well ^rown, whether in pots or in the borders. IVe shall not 
soon forget seeing grand plants of Retusus in vases at Chiswick, when it was in its halcyon days. Neither shall 
we readily fof get the enjoyment we derived from a single plant of Retusus, which having stood the winter of i^ 6 g 
FxJ>erimental Grounds, bloomed througheui the whole summer.

SOIL'LA (The Wood Hyacinth), Nat. Ord. Lilia'cem. Showy hardy bulbs. 
^ The Wood Hyacinth during May is the most attractive of our native Flora, and few sights can compare 
with the large breadths of those bright blue gems to be seen in almost every copse. The Spanish forms, Campanu- 
lata and Patula, have largei flowers, and are more suitable for furnishing vases, and more effective in the flower 
borders than the native plant, S. nutans ; and they are desirable to naturalize withour native species. The seed 
of those which we offer were saved from the grand collection we exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Gardens, 
South Kensington , and which was so much admired last May. For Scilta Sibirica, see Novelties, p. 4.

genus of plants for sub‘tropical effect in summer, and conservatory decoration throughout the year. They art

Mar^natum, conspicuous for its white foliage ; Robustum for Us massive brown-tinted leaves; Laciniatum for 
its elegantly divided foliage', and Warscewiezioides for majesty of form is unquestionably the grandest of the
