white flowers 2J inches across, quite double ; flowers are large and freely produced ; grows more 
compact than the other Persici folia varieties. Is. 
CINERARIA MARITIMA DIAMANT— A superb plant, originating in Lyons ; the 
foliage is somewhat shorter than the old variety C. Mariiima, and the silvery appearance much more

acquisition, and most useful for the formation of borders, carpet bedding, and other like purposes.
