Seedlings. 
New Scarlet Verbena—-Robinson’s Defiance. 
J. M. THORBURN & CO., 15 John street , New - Yotk , 
TTAVE now ready for delivery, strong plants of the above splendid 
Verbena, the finest in England, from whence they obtained it 
last June, fully testing its quality during the summer. The bloom is 
of the most vivid scarlet, with fine foliage, and so far from being in¬ 
jured by the heat of the sun, was rather improved, and continued a 
mass of flowers, rapidly covering the ground, while most others 
were destroyed by the heat, nor ceased to flower in profusion till 
checked by frost at the end of October—after which, being taken up 
and removed into the greenhouse, flowered away till December, 
and is now (January 21) fully out for a long succession of bloom.— 
It may be seen in perfection very soon by any one who will take the 
trouble to visit Astoria. 
Testimonials.- — Gardener's Chronicle , (Dr. Lindley,) Aug. 28.-— 
“ Robinson’s Defiance” is a most brilliant flower—fine in form and 
a good trusser—best of its class. 
Gardener's Journal , Sept. 4. —“ Robinson’s Defiance ”—beautiful 
variety—form good—segments of the corolla broad, firm in sub- 
clance and flat—color, a brilliant scarlet—habit of the plant good, 
and a free bloomer. 
The Gardener, Sept. 18.—“Robinson’s Defiance” is a superior 
variety, the petals are stout, the flower and truss large and well 
formed—color, a clear vivid scarlet—the plant is a strong and free 
grower, with a fine foliage and superior habit—we have not seen its 
equal. 
It received first class certificates and the highest commendation at 
the following exhibitions—“Royal South London,” Sept. 15— 
“ Slough,” Sept. 21—“Norwich,” Sept. 23—“Metropolitan,” Sept. 
28—and the “ Chelsea Society.” 
The habit of the plant is equally adapted for potting or bed cul¬ 
ture, being short jointed with remarkably fine foliage, and a free 
bloomer. A large Italian vase filled with it at Astoria last summer, 
was the most striking object in the garden, and was adored by all 
gardeners and amateurs who observed it. It was first sent out in 
England in the Spring of 1848 at 7s 6d sterling per plant, but was 
not successfully imported here till last season. 
A good stock of this beautiful Verbena, ( warranted to ansicer des ¬ 
cription ,) being now ready to send out, orders will be promptly exe¬ 
cuted with strong healthy plants at 50 cents e ach—$5 per dozen— 
six at same rale—with a liberal discount to the trade when a dozen 
or more are ordered. 
Also the following additional new Verbenas, from England : 
Anacreon— large bright rose, good habit and fine foliage, free 
bloomer and close set, pretty eye. 
Barkerii —scarlet crimson, good spreading habit and profuse 
bloomer. 
Rosy Morn —light rosy crimson, large eompact truss, good eye 
and free bloomer—a beautiful variety. 
Satellite —orange scarlet, exquisite form and trailing habit, well 
adapted for large pan pots or vases—foliage soft, serrated, and of a 
feathery style, extra fine—50 cents each—or if the set of four is or¬ 
dered. $1.50—have been proved a season, and fully answer descrip¬ 
tion. 
The following approved older sorts, $1.50 per dozen—Beauty Su¬ 
preme, Flambeau, Fireball, Major Ringgold, Mestosa, Mary Anne, 
Othello, Polk, Queen, Roseum Elegans, Smith’s Blue Bonnet, and 
others well adapted for bedding out or in patches. 
PETUNIAS—Hebe, Eliza, Beauty of Yorkville, Duke of Bedford 
and other good sorts—$2 per dozen. 
DAHLIAS in dry roots—all the prize sorts exhibited at Castle Gar- 
den last October—$5 to $15 per dozen. 
OCT’ Plants of the new Verbenas can readily be sent by mail; by 
shaking off the soil a half dozen will not weigh over an ounce; by 
immediate potting on arrival and trifling care, will recruit in three or 
four days and be in advance and superior condition for turning out 
in the month of May—of course, much earlier, further south.
