In announcing the following- NEW PLANTS, Mr. William Boll begs to 
say they will all be found to partake of the usual excellence of his intro- 
ductions, and to maintain the high reputation of the Plants previously sent 
out by him. 
NEW PLANTS Offered For The First Time. 
AGAVE SEEMANNI. 
This new speoies grows In stony places of the Department of Matagalpa, Republio of Nicaragua, 
Central America, whence it was introduced by Dr. Seemann. It is one of the smaller kinds, the 
panicle never attaining more than 6 feet in height. The leaves are rosulate, subspathulate, acu- 
minate at the point, and serrate at the edges. It seoms to grow rapidly, and flowers when the 
plant is about six years old. 
Price 1 guinea each. 
ALLAMANDA NOBILIS. 
This is undoubtedly one of the finest known species of oertainly one of the most ornamental 
genera of these climbing plants. It has the trailing habit common to most of the species in culti- 
vation, and bears large elliptio oblong acuminate leaves, which are soft to the touch, from being 
covered with short hairs ; the flowers are quite equal in size to those of A. Sehottii, being fully 
4 inches in diameter, and of a purer full bright yellow, rather deeper in the throat, but without 
any stain or marking, and downy on the outor surface ; they are muoh superior in form to those of 
any other species, having the segments broader and more imbricated, so that the limb acquires a full 
ciroular outline — more so than in A. grandiflora, which is rendered the more evident from its stand- 
ing well forward, and not falling back as so commonly happens in A. Sehottii. The plant has been 
introduced from the Rio Branoo, in Brazil, and will be a grand acquisition for exhibition purposes. 
Price 11- guineas each. 
AUCUBA JAPONICA (MASCULA) MARMORATA. 
This attractive variety has been imported from Japan. 
Among the numerous kinds of spotted and blotched-leaved Aucnbas, this proves to be remarkably 
distinot, and much more striking and effective in respect to its markings, than either tho ordinary 
spotted female form so common in gardens, or the comparatively scarce maculata, which approach 
the nearest to it j compared with these, its leaves are shorter and less toothed, and the colour is 
muoh brighter than either, the ground colour being a very deep green, and this blotched all over 
with large irregular spots and patches of bright yellow. It is the most strikingly coloured of all 
the spotted varieties. 
It has reoeived a First Class Certificate from the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural 
Society. 
Price 1 guinea each.
