MIGNONETTE, OOLDEN GEM. 
Mignonette, Golden Gem — The variety now offered is au 
excellent partner to the Improved Victoria, being of the same dwarf regular 
pyramidal growth, but producing a still greater abundance of flowers oil 
, Pyramidalis Compaeta (Syon House 
Var.)— Ibis is quite distinct from the older form, being the result of 
careful selection for years, the plants dwarfer, the flowers larger and deeper 
m ®«}>stnnce. It iiossosscs a good habit, the dwarfing not having 
robbed the plant of the pyramidal habit so graceful in this plant, but being 
of stronger growth IS erect, and the plants require no stakiig or supports; 
the leaves being hid by the great profusion of bloom. The value of this 
variety is that it is most useful for decorative effect, and is much admired 
whenever exhibited the plants being clothed to the ground with foliage. 
U IS readily grown from seed, and by sowing early in the spring may be had 
in bloom 15 months frem the time of sowing; is hardy and speciallv 
adapted for pot cnlturo. but well repays cold-frame shelter during severe 
weather, hor cool conservatories it is invaluable, lasting a long time in 
bloom ; also for balls or corridors it is a most useful and decorative plant, 
bhonld be sown in heat and potted on as required, growing in the open 
during the summer months, and giving plenty of moisture and liquid 
manure when pot bound. Ver pkt., Is. Gd ^

Centaurea Cyanus Nana Compaeta (new varieties) 
—heed is now being offered for the first time of this charming miniature 
Cornflower. In height and habit they are similar to the parent form, and 
comprise flowers of white, lilac, rose, light blue, and brown-red tints. They 
make a fine show in spring, and are specially suited to antnmn sowing, and 
capable of withstanding severe cold. The young seedlings bear trans- 
planting. Per pkt., Is. s o 6 
Clarkia olog’ans nana rosoa — a new dwarf compact- 
growing variety of this free-flowering hardy annual. The bushy plants 
attain only 10 to 12 inches in height, and produce large pink flowers on 
short upright brandies, and form thus, intermixed witli the dark green 
reliage, a pretty sight. Well recommended for groups or borders.

Tb. Giganteus Crispa-Produdng large bold foliage. 
The colours consist of blackish-maroon shades, golden-yellow, greenish- 
yellow deep rosy-crimson, blood red, reddish-brown, clear green veined 
rose, and also marked and maculated in the most varied forms. For groups 
of large dimensions will be found most useful. Per pkt., l.-j. Gd. ^ 
Ipomsea purpurea flore pleno (Double- flowered 
Morning Glory) — The number of hardy annual climbers is not very 
great, and we do not doubt a moment but that this first double-flowered 
Convolvulus Major or Morning Glory ever introduced will be greeted as a 
welcome addition to this class of plants. It is of rapid growth, and produces 
Its double flowers very freely, resembling in form those of the Cahsteqia 
puhesctnsji. pi. They are white, with a slight spot of red or of blue ‘at the 
base of the larger petals. About 80 per cent, of the seedlings will reproduce 
themselves true from seed, the remainder will floiver semi-double or single. 
As a blue variety has shown itself in our cultures this season, we presume 
that all the other colours of the single-flowered Morning Glory will be 
produced by hybridizing before long. Per pkt, Is. Gd. 
Linuri^ Cymbulapiu fl, 8,lbO — Very prettv new variety of 
the trailing Kenilworth Ivy, differing from the original species with light 
violet flowers by its light green glossy foliage and its pure white flowers. 
It IS of vigorous growth, and may either bo cultivated as an annual or as a 
perennial. For covering rockivorkor walls, or for hanging baskets, there is 
hardly a more suitable plant to be found, ihiiiving equally as well in the 
shade as in the full sun. Per pkt , Is. ‘ 
Lobelia Erinus Compaeta Aurea ‘ ‘ Italia a charming 
plant, colour of the foliage is of a more decided golden-yellow sliade than 
Goldelse, and the flowers are much larger, and the colour more intense and 
marked white tow'ards the centre of flowers. Very free-flowering, almost 
covering the plant. Very effective, and will be found most useful for bedding 
and borders owing to its bright and attractive colours. Per pkt., Is. Gd.
