EXTRACTED FROM CATALOGUE, 1805. 
Novelties continued. 
401 Nolana lanceolata —a native of Chili, and is one of the prettiest of annuals, with 
trailing branches, bearing a profusion of large blue convolvulus-like blooms of the 
most lovely tint, the throat being white, giving the flower a very striking appearance. 
It is quite distinct, and very much larger than N. paradoxa, which belongs to the 
same section ; one of the most useful and admired annuals for rock-work, hanging 
baskets, &c., ever introduced ... ... Is. 
402 (Enothera Diversiflora —another beautiful variety, similar in habit to Godetia Rep- 
tans alba and Reptans purpurea, producing its flowers sometimes white, 
sometimes rosy pink of various shades, but always with a crimson blotch at 
the base of each petal, extremely pretty ... h.p. Is. 
403 „ Parviflora —a- very neat small blooming variety, totally distinct from any 
other; colour of flowers, violet .. ... Is. 
404 Primula chinensis fimbriata Crimson Emperor—a novelty with rich dazzling 
crimson flowers, the finest primula in cultivation g.h.p. 2s. 6d. & 5s. 
405 Phlox Drummondi Isabellina —the first pure yellow variety which has been intro¬ 
duced of this favourite and ornamental tribe, an interesting 
novelty ... ... h.h.a. Is. 6d. 
406 „ , Atropurpurea —quite new, of the finest dark blood red 
hh.a. Is. 
407 Ricinus Nanus Microcarpus —a genuine dwarf Ricinus, only 2 to 3 feet high, the 
seeds are only half as large as those of all the other species .. h.h.a. 6d. 
408 Senecio elegans nana cupreata pleno —a fine variety, of a copper or crimson red 
colour, and very double, the habit of the plant being exceedingly dwarf, like the two 
beautiful varieties offered amongst the novelties of last season, and excellent as a low 
bedding plant ... ... ... h.a. 6d. 
409 Sweet Pea — The Invincible Scarlet —This fine pea is a splendid and very striking 
novelty and may doubtless be considered the gem of the season. The upper petals 
are of the most intense scarlet, with a very slight variation in the lower ones, which 
have a deep crimson tinge. This must become a universal favorite and will no doubt 
be grown by every lover of flowers who has a garden. 
S. B. being the raiser of this pea, the stock is entirely in his possession, and the quantity being 
at present limited, no allowance can this season be made to the trade.

410 Stock Dwarf German, Victoria Scarlet, a novelty of a fine rich colour, h.h.a. Is. 
411 Tropeolum Prince of Wales free growing deep golden yellow with dark maroon 
spots, the colour being bright and very constant, rendering it very desir¬ 
able for bedding purposes. ... .. h.h.a. Is. 
412 „ Elegans Superba, a large rich scarlet close compact habit very free 
bloomer, a decided improvement on the well known Elegans, and a first- 
class bedding plant. ... ... h.h.a. Is. 
413 Verbena Auriculafiora, a most splendid novelty, large and well formed, blooms in 
various shades, with a very distinct eye of white or rose, and properly called auricu- 
laflora, as the size comes near the polyanthus and auricula, extra fine. g.h.p. Is. 
414 Veronica Glanca, a pretty little annual speedwell from Greece, of very hardy cha¬ 
racter, and of dwarf densely branched habit, neat, small, fleshy, toothed foliage, often 
marked centrally with brown, and numerous blue flowers, rather larger than those of 
V. Syriaca, produced in spikes; it succeeds well sown in Autumn, and then flowers 
from April to June; if Spring sown the plants bloom rather later; it is of the easiest 
treatment, requiring only ordinary garden soil, but as the plant branches greatly, it 
should be thinly sown, and the seedlings be transplanted (when large enough) to a 
distance of four or five inches. It will be found very useful for small beds or for 
edgings to larger ones. ,. ... h.a. Is.
