best Drumhead yet offered. The Boston Market 
Gardeners all use it in preference to any other, and to show 
how highly it is esteemed in this market, we will state that 
it sold readily at $5.00 per ounce the past season, and all 
were well satisfied that it is the best variety for either early 
or late planting; every plant produces a good head, when 
fully grown, weighing from 20 to 30 lbs., and requiring only 
ordinary cultivation: the quality is excellent. Mr/John 
Stone, ot' Marblehead, Mass., the originator of the well-known 
Stone Mason Drumhead, allows us to state that he considers 
it far superior to any Drumhead he has ever seen ; he has 
raised good sized heads the past season in 85 days from plant¬ 
ing the seed. We warrant our stock the purest in the coun¬ 
try. For sale in 25 or 50 cent packages.

WEW FRAGRANT PERPETUAL JAPANESE 
-t-™ Honeysuckle.—This charming, new, climbing Honey¬ 
suckle was brought from Japan some years since by my 
friend Dr. Hall, a distinguished amateur, who, often in com¬ 
pany with his guest Mr. Robert Fortune, delighted in collect¬ 
ing the rare and curious plants of that country. This plant 
is in the way of L. bracliypoda and L. flexuosa, but is superi¬ 
or to all other Honeysuckles on account of its abundant and 
constant bloom, which continues without intermission from 
early summer until severe cold weather. Add to this its 
delicious fragrance, its rapid growth, and entire hardiness, 
and my correspondents will see that here Is a plant of great 
value, worthy of the most extensive cultivation. Excellent 
for forcing. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $10 per 100.—I would 
add that Thuyopsis doiobrata, T. dolobrata variegata, ar.d 
Retinospora aurca, three Conifers prized above all others by 
the Japanese, were sent me by Dr. Hall from Japan in 1SG1, 
by the U. S. Steamer Niagara,and that,having stood six very 
severe winters without any protection whatever, I am able 
to announce that these beautiful evergreens are entirely 
hardy in this country. I have a fine stock for spring deliv¬ 
ery, (now first offered,) with a number of entirely new Japan¬ 
ese aud other shrubs, herbaceous plants, etc. Fruit and 
ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens, hedge plants, roses, 
etc., in great variety. Priced Descriptive Catalogues to any 
address. Wholesale Lists to the trade. Agents wanted.
