lapping. The colours range from pure white througli shades of pink and red. The latter arc in 
dark rich shades of red ; some wiiite ones nro delicately flushed or flecked with jiink or mauve, and 
very beautiful flowers in pink and inuuve have a dark red ring around the eye. The daintiest white, 
])ink, and fliwhed have laclneatod jietals fringed to the centre of the flower, and resemble

1673 . II. A. Cimhea Miniata Rosea- •Last season wo introduced a new eonijiact variety 
of the well-known C. intuiala, and are now able to add a perfect new colour, hitherto unknown in 
the genus, i.c., a pure light rose, which contrasts very prettily with the fresh green foliage. This 
useful little novelty comes true from seed. Per pkt.. Is. 
1674 . Cyclamen Papilio — Tills novelty lias been described and recommended in all the 
best English and foreign horticnlturui pajicrs. Pine linhit of the plant, beautiful markings on tlio 
leaves, great free flowering ((iialities and noble shape, and large sise of the flowers. This novelty 
has the special peculiarity that the edges of the petals are prettily fimiiriatod aii'd cnrled, which 
lends to the plant a particularly attractive appearance. The seed is from all the best colours from 
white to dark red, mixed. Per pkt., 5t.

1677, ii.A. Dianthus Heddewig'i Albus, Queen of Holland- —By the intro- 
duction of this novelty we believe wc are fnUilliug a want long felt by all lovers of the beautiful 
Indian Pink, for among tho kaleidoscopic variety of colouring displaj-ed by the D. Heddewiiji, 
a pure white variety notwithstanding the efforts of many raisers, lias hitherto failed to make its 
appearance. Some years ago, however, the desired result was obtained by fertilizing D. The Bride. 
with pollen from the well-known L'nruation Oennania. Tlio variety has now become pretty well 
fixed, and one may safely reckon on two-thirds of tho plants bearing splendid even edged flowers of 
lustrous pure wliile. A certain pcrcenlago show a small ring, soniotimes yellowish, somotiines rosy , 
round the centre, but this rather enhances than detracts from the beauty of the flower, it is ueedle.ss 
to say that they make a very pretty effect in tlie garden, smd are besides excellent for cutting.

1676. II.A. Eschscholtzia Douglasii— in size of iU flowers holding the middle 
between Esch. cali/oruica and E. lenuifotia, we can conlideatly recommend this Californian Poppy 
on account of the extniordinary early flowering, being in full bloom at least a fortnight earlier than 
the other kinds. The colour of the flowers— l.t to IJ inches across— Js a pure golden yellow with a 
dark yellow centre. Foliage glaucous and finely divided. Per pkt.. Is.
