H.P. LAVATERA ARBOREA VARIE- 
GATA — Received First-Class Certificate from 
the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural 
Society. The Journal of Horticulture thus 
speaks of it: — ■“ Very rarely indeed does it fall 
to our lot to fignre for the first time, and intro- 
duce to our readers a new border plant so striking 
in appearance as the Variegated Tree Mallow, 
which we now submit. On first receiving leaves 
of this new acquisition, we were almost startled 
by their markings; and on subsequently receiv- 
ing flowering sprays of the plant, we were still 
more convinced of its distinctness and beauty. 
The irregular mixture of very dark green, pale 
greenish grey, and pure white, imparts to the 
plant a remarkable appearance. The plant ap- 
pears to ns to occupy a position amongst border 
plants similar to that of the Variegated Maple in 
shrubberies. It comes true from seed, but it must 
be understood that it is something like the Varie- 
gated Maize — does not show much variegation in 
the young state. Last winter it stood out without 
injury; it is best, however, to pot some up and 
keep in a cool house, and turn them out in 
spring; hut a slight protection outside would be 
sufficient to keep the plants undisturbed in beds 
or borders, which is desirable, for in the spring 
of the second year the beauty of such plants is 
beyond description. Is. per pkt. 
it. A. LAYIA ELEGANS— A native of Cali- 
fornia, forming tufts about a foot high ; the 
flowers are golden yellow, bordered white, with 
orange centre, and measure nearly 2 inches in 
diameter. The leaves and the stems are covered 
with soft minute hairs, giving the whole plant a 
particularly greyish appearance. May be sown in 
autumn or in spring, and flowers then from April 
to July or from July to October, lias so far 
proved hardy, and stands well the sun. Is. per pkt. 
h.a. LEPTOSIPHON DENSIFLORUS— 
Flowers produced in clusters, of a bright purple.
