one of. the best novelties of recent years, everyone who has grown it being f\tU 
of admiration for the charming little plant. Its long-blooming character makes 
it a most valuable introduction for the decoration of our greenhouses and 
apartments. As a winter-Jiowenng plant, continuing in bloom as it does from 
autumn till spring, it is quite a gem.

STREPTOCARPUS, NEWEST HYBRIDS. 
This popular greenhouse plant has now been brought to a very high 
state of perfection by careful culture and hybridization, and the seeds now 
offered are selected from plants far in advance of the older varieties in 
richness of colour, size, and form of flower, containing only the most distinct 
and rarer shades ; particularly amongst the purple, purplish violet, bright 
red, deep rose, and rieh rosy purple. The whites are more pure, and the 
markings on the throat more defined. We have also saved seed of some of 
the lighter sliades, which have hoen so much admired, and given such 
I satisfactory results in former years.

I Ricinus Zanzibariensis enormis— The different varieties of 
I the Zanzibar Castor Oil Bean, introduced last season, have been recognised 
I by all who have grown them as the most stately and the most handsome 
representants of this tribe. They also attracted universal attention on the 
grounds of the Industrial Exhibition at Erfurt this past summer, where 
some of the older kinds were planted near them, so that they were 
pronounced to be the finest ornamental foliaged plants on the grounds. 
The new variety named above produces enormously large leaves, being 
brownish purple when in a young state, and changing into dark green with 
reddish ribs later on. The seeds are the largest of all varieties, being white 
marbled with black. Per pkt., 1*. 
Saintpaulia lonantha-One of the most charming stove plants 
introduced of late years. It belongs to the family of the Gesneriaceas, and 
was found on the Usambara Mountains in East Africa by Mr. Saintpaul- 
lllaire. The tiny plants form a flat rosette of deep green hairy leaves, 
which are similar In form to those of the Gloxinia, but smaller in all parts, 
and most reddish brown underneath. The flower stems, 2 to 4 inches iu 
length, are crowned by beautiful deep blue flowers, bearing a close 
resemblance in form, as well as in colour, to those of the sweet-scented 
violet; stamens deep golden yellow. A well-established plant will bloom 
continually throughout the year. The seed is extremely fine, and requires 
similar treatment to that of the Streptocatpus. It is readily propagated 
by division of the leaves, but does not form a bulb, the roots being of a 
fibrous character. Per pkt.. Is. 6d. ; Plants, 2s. 6cL each.

l-KIMULA SINBN8I8 FIMBBIATA RUBBA SCPEBBISSIMA 
Lathgrus odoratus. 
Primula Sinensis Fimbriata Rubra Superbissima— 
This grand new Primula may be described as tlie red counterpart of 
Alba Magnifica sent out several jrears ago, and which was one of the most 
sensational novelties of recent times. It has been the constant aim of 
Primula growers to produce the same splendid form and ample fimbrintion 
in the red varieties, and it has been achieved in the novelty we have now 
the pleasure of offering for the first time. The fringing of the extra large 
bold flowers — which are of great substance — is of the same heavy character 
as in Alba Magnifica, and which distinguishes that variety from all others ; 
whilst the colour is that of the best type of the ordinary “ Knbra,” relieved 
by a rich golden-yellow eye, the well-shaped truss being borne well above 
the foliage, which is deeply cut, and of good rich green. Per pkt., 3s. 6<i.

produced. Awarded First-class Certificates, Birmingham and Shrewsbury,

tural Society in 1893 and 1894. In sealed pkts., Is. each.
