NEW AUCUBAS. 
NEW ATT CUB AS — Continued. 
immense blotcli of clear yellow, and the remaining green portion lightly dappled over with small 
yellow spots ; clegans is rather deeply serrated, with a broad centre of yellow and dark green 
margin ; tulphurca has the variegation suffusod all over the leaf, and quite distinct from tho other 
strikingly marked kinds ; marginata has the variegation round tho loaf margins; and oblonga is 
another green form, almost sure to make a noble shrub. The Himalayan , the Japan normal male 
and femalo forms, and other Aucubas, all are here, Fortune’s maculated male boing a most lively 
subject, and yielding moro and better pollen than any of the other males. Great as is the immediate 
pleasuro of introducing such fino plants, it is very little compared to what wo should experience a 
dozen years hence, when they shall have done much to embellish our islands.” 
Extract from Journal of Horticulture, April 4th, 1865, page 2GG : — “ I have already alluded to 
the very interesting variogated Aucubas received by Mr. Bum, from tho Continent, where they wero 
introduced by Dr. Van Siebold ; but he has some green-leaved varieties which will be, I think, 
equally interesting, and which have already reoeived Certificates both at the Royal Horticultural 
and Botanio Societies. Then there was A. japoniea macrophylla, with a light spinach coloured 
greon leaf, fully 9 inohos long by 41 inches wido ; lat folia, vory broad dark green leaf, quite 
distinot ; and mascula august at a, veiy narrow leaf. The variegated varieties were lancfolia 
variegata, margined with gold ; clegans and elegant issima, broad leaf, yellow blotch ; mascula bicolor, 
deep yellow centre to leaf ; sulphurea, edged with sulphur yellow, tho yellow also intorspersed in 
the green ; mascula varia, distinot deep yellow blotch ; mascula picta, also yollow blotched. Theso 
are all distinct, although it may seem that in describing them as yellow blotched and green, there 
is great sameness ; but any ono can at once see the great distinctness that thoro is in the different 
varieties, and what a fine feature they will make in our gardens.”

These have been raised from somo of the fino imported kinds, and from tho well-known Aucuba 
familiar in gardens, variously fertilised with the different varieties of plain-leaved, blotched, and 
maculated males, but may be expected to produoe many novel and fine sorts. The plants aro now 
only small, so that the foliage and markings are not yet fully developed. The sexes in these 
seedlings may be expected to be somewhat equally divided.

The INDIAN ATJCTJBA “ HIMALAICA,” which, coming from a great elevation, is hardy.

Handsome plants of Aucuba japoniea can be supplied, with from 30 to 300 berries, varying in prioe 
from 7s. 6 rf. to 2 guineas. 
Covered with their beautiful coral-like red berries, Aucubas aro exceedingly valuable for decora- 
tive purposes, for boing quite hardy, they will stand almost anywhere, and are alike handsome for 
tho greenhouse, conservatory, and open air ; medium-sized plants, full of berries, form pretty 
objects for table decoration.
