1433 Alonsoa I.inifolia. This new and handsome species grows from a foot to a foot 
and a half in height, with dark-green, llax-like foliage. The centre branches, 
as well as the surrounding ones, are so disposed its to form a symmetrical and 
graceful specimen, covered, from almost the base to the summit, with innumer¬ 
able glowing light-scarlet blossoms. It is easily grown, and susceptible of both 
pot and open-ground culture. 
1434 Alonsoa my rtf folia. This is another new species; grows from two to two and a 
half feet; is of very robust growth, and exceedingly floriferous. The individual 
flowers are larger by far than in any other species of this genus, and of a fine 
scarlet. It makes a very good pot-plant, but, by reason of its strong growth, is 
principally adapted for the open ground. 
1433 Amaranthus Hemleri. One of the finest Amaranths in cultivation; useful for 
both bedding out and greenhouse purposes. The plants, if grown for speci¬ 
mens, will attain a height of from three to five feet, being from a foot to a foot 
and a half through; elegantly pyramidal in form. The stem and branches are 
of a rich {>ort-wine color, the young leaves ruby or coral-red. and the older ones 
partly rubv-red or claret. A snlendid plant for the sub-tropical garden 
1436 Antirrhinum Numidlcum. A hardy annual species from North Africa; grows 
about three feet in height, with orange and violet-colored llowers. These are 
produced on long spikes, and much resemble the finest pentstemons . 
1437 Aqullegia clirysantha. This line Columbine is a native of the Rocky Mountains, 
and, though discovered some twenty years since, has but recently been brought 
into cultivation. It is a very vigorous species, forming a bushy plant from 
three to four feet in height, covered with light-green foliage and abundance of 
flowers, which are similar in shape to those of A. camulea, but of a clear golden 
yellow; the petals being rather darker than the sepals. Unlike most other 
: species of Columbine, it keeps producing its flowers all summer. Is a hardy 
herbaceous perennial, easily raised from seed
