Pelargonium, Zonal {Geramaceai ) — Without donbt we have the 
finest and best collection of Zonal Geraniums in the world — both men and 
Louses are entirely devoted to their culture. One large house contained 
upwards of 600 specimen varieties, exclusively for trial and seeding. The 
number being graduallyreduced to 200 of the very choicest, including many of 
those now offered for the first time in this Catalogue, we can therefore 
confidently say the seed now offered is far superior in quality to any other 
yet introduced to the public, and cannot fail to bring forth some startling 
improved varieties, as it is carefully hybridised with only the very choicest 
kinds, and every known method of fecundation is adopted to effect thorough 
crosses. 2 ft. Is. per pkt.

H.A. Phacelia Campanularia {nydrophynace(e)—ln. habit it 
resembles the w'ell-known \Vhitlaria grandi/tora (which is now placed by 
hotnnists in the genus Phacelia), but has a much more spreading and bnshv 
habit of growth, and is therefore more floriferotis ; an average plant wi'ii 
cover nine square inche.s of ground. The greatest attraction of the plant 
consists in iis large and uunierons flowers, of the finest deep gentian satinv 
bine, of a shade rivalling that of Salvia patens, produced in terminal 
racemes of from 12 to 20 blossoms, which are developed in succession. Eacli 
flower is about three-fourths of an inch across, of an erect campanulaic 
form, with a spreading five-lobed limb, and short funnel-shaped tube,
