forth, and for ever, bear the name of Nicotiarui ** Victoria." 
Nicotiana Victoria affi nis is, perhaps, the most extraordinary ; firstly, becaipe it is a Tobacco plan^ 
— Next, because it is so different, both in growth and flowers, to the ordinary kind. — Ihirdly, is 
because of its producing such splendid pure white noble flowers on long teiminal tube^ which rendws 
it valuable for bouquets. •— Fourthly, because it has such a delicious scent; in fact, it perfumes the 
whole surrounding atmosphere. — Fifthly, because its flowers fully expands at the dawn oi day and 
early morning.

beyond doubt, the greatest novelty of the garden. In our nu^^c^y it has been the amazement oi all,

splendid greenhouse plant, and probably adaptable for maiket work, as it is so vei^y free, and only
