o.p. StreptoearpuS (Gesneracea), Hybrids — These are 
remarkable for their abundance of bloom, and the continuous succession 
in which the flowers are produced for about four months in the summer 
and early autumn, and also for the long time the individual flowers last 
in perfection. The plant is a greenhouse perennial, of dwarf, neat 
habit, growing about 9 incites high, with rather- long, narrow, arched and 
recurved stemless leaves ; whilst the flowers, which are very graceful in 
form, are trumpet-shaped, and measure about IJ inches in length. The 
variation, of colours in these hybrids is very striking, scarcely two 
jilants being exactly the same, and the colours range from pure white, 
through pale lavender, lavender-blue, lilac-blue, light mauve, purple, 
violet, bright rose, and red to rich rosy purple, with all the intermediate 
tints, and in all the flowers the throat and three lower segments are more 
or less marked or splashed with long blotches or spots of various shades 
of purple, generally shaded and relieved with white, which greatly 
enhances the effect, and affords a pleasing contrast of colour. If seed is 
sown the end of January and February, the plants come into bloom the 
following June and July, and continue flowering freely until the end of 
September and October. 2s. Grf. and Is. (id. per pkt.

Bronze King — Amongst the numerous new varieties of Sweet Peas 
introduced of late years there is but the "Orange Prince,” which has a 
slight resemblance in colour to this new variety. While the flowers of the
