they were packed very wet, and I received them perfectly rotten.

IlVri>ROVEI> PLANTS. 
Nothing is hailed with more joy by all lovers of Floriculture than gradual and marked improve- 
ment in our Florists’ Flowers from year to year. Changes without attractiveness are of little or no 
value ; new colours and stout dwarf growth are qualities immediately sought for. We should be 
glad to hear from any amateurs or gardeners having new and improved varieties of plants (also 
vegetables, see Seed Catalogue) enumerated in our Floral Guide ; they must be a decided advance 
on all existing kinds.
