NEW PLANTS.

distinctly marked variety we have seen; hut the flowers are so 
small that we fear it will not please many cultivators, though we 
are not sure that even where display alone is looked for, this will 
not be found as attractive as many of the larger kinds; for the 
plant itself is of neat, compact growth, and, consequently, the 
flowers are seen in a mass and to the best advantage. 
Ivery’s Meteor. A bright reddish-purple flower, well formed, 
and thick. We think it will be found useful among self-coloured 
flowers. 
Jennings’s Unique is a fine variety of the light class, being a deli¬ 
cate peach-blossom-coloured ground, margined with rose. A 
flower of this kind is highly contrasted when placed by the side 
of another, in the style of— 
Miller’s African. A dark purple, large and well-formed, par¬ 
ticularly useful for bedding, as it is a colour by no means com¬ 
mon, or at least among flowers of any pretensions to either form 
or size. 
Dahlias. To those mentioned last month may be added 
Girling’s Duke of Cambridge ; an excellent show-flower of a novel, 
dark purplish-crimson colour. La Polka ; a thoroughly useful 
flower of medium size, and bright crimson colour. Turville’s 
Essex Purple , and Essex Goldfinch; two singular flowers ; the 
first a mottled purple, and the latter a mixture of crimson, rose, 
and yellow; both quite up to the average in form and size. 
Whales’s Marchioness of Cornwallis; white, an indispensable 
variety; should certainly be added wherever the colour is want¬ 
ing. For merely ornamental purposes, there can be nothing 
more desirable than those termed “fancy varieties,” many of 
them combining the most opposite colours; of these we would 
recommend Dodd’s Punch , purple, white stripe ; Girling’s Judy , 
crimson, tipped with white ; Girling’s Gaiety , buff, tipped with 
white; Whales’s Madame Levett , dark purplish-crimson, tipped 
with pure white; and Whales’s Ranuncula-fiora, pale yellow, 
with delicate bright rose-coloured tips. 
Fuchsias. To the number of dark varieties in the former 
paper we may add J. Smith’s Eximia , a beautiful flower, with 
bright carmine tube and sepals, and a handsome violet corolla. 
Along with it may be placed Ivery’s Trafalgar , a large flower, 
having a red tube, the sepals tipped with green, and a fine purple
