impetus has been given to obtaining new varieties in England,— 
and last season was a very favourable one for maturing seed, 
—we may expect a large number of home-raised seedlings. It 
will be therefore more than ever needful to exercise caution in 
the selection of new varieties. Several of those of last season 
have been already exhibited, and although we cannot determine 
much from dowers grown under glass, yet the following gave 
promise of being good:— 
Tea, Alba; Bourbon, Rev. II Dombrain; Hybrid Perpetuals, 
Alpa'ide tie Rot alter, Amiral Lapeyrouse , Marechal Forey (Mar- 
gottin), and Bernard Palissy. The stands of new varieties will 
be looked forward to with more than ordinary interest this 
season, and we hope to chronicle the results at ”some future 
period.
