iri9i. n.p. Myosotis Alpestris, Star of Love— is most Uke the weii-known 
J/. I'trtoria, but i.s to be distinguished from this and every other variety by ita low compact 
growth, regularity of heiglit in all tlie plants, unrivalled uumher of flowers produced and long 
flowering season ; it is of a lovely pure sky-blue colour, forming a most attractive sight ; it

We believe we have in this beautiful new variety a close approach to obtaining a true scarlet 
Petunia. The flowers are superbly fringed. Per pkt.. Is. 6(/. 
1696. Pink, New Remontant, Marie Chabaud— Thu new kind shows a very 
tine pure canary-yellow ; as yellow pinks are in great request, it is evident this variety will 
soon become a favourite. It must be said that it is still of some variation. Per pkt., Is. 
1696. Primula Sinensis Fimbriata, Snow Queen — The hawt is extremely 
neat and compact', flowers well above the foliage ; the flowers are of a jiearly whiteness, relieved 
by a medium eye of pale yellow devoid of any greenish tinge. Its great value lies in its 
exceptional flowering qualities, 60 to GO flowers being open at one time, individual blooms 
are from 2 to 2^ inches across, these are flattish iu shape and nicely fringed ; will be found an 
improvement on many existing large-flowering kinds. In sealed paewets, 2s. 6<A. and 3s. 6<A. each.
