MR. CATLEUGH’s COLLECTION.

case, of plants which require very different modes of treatment. 
The amateur, on the other hand, can concentrate his whole energy 
upon his particular favourite; and as he works for pleasure 
rather than for profit, he can carry his experiments farther than 
would be prudent on the part of most nurserymen. When such 
an amateur succeeds in obtaining a new beauty, he has all the 
glory of it, at the exhibitions or otherwise ; and in addition to 
this, he has the farther glory of making it a boon to that public, 
the applause of which is the real stimulus to his labours, whether 
he himself is aware of it, or no. But to return to Mr. Catleugh’s 
collection. 
Of choice Pelargoniums he has 103 varieties, seventy-two of 
which are grown by the Rev. R. Garth, by E. Foster, Esq., and 
by A. Bainbridge, Esq.; and in addition to these he has fifty-two 
named varieties, of good quality; but older, and consequently 
cheaper. 
Of Calceolarias, some herbaceous and others shrubby, he has 
more than sixty choice varieties raised by Mr. Green, (our esteemed 
correspondent,) and by Messrs. Forster, Alstone, Barnes, and 
Willmore. Among these there are many first-rate beauties of 
this choice and fashionable flower ; and in addition to these, he 
has many of the older sorts at very reasonable prices. Mr. 
Green’s seedlings of 1840, will be ready for sending out in April, 
and we shall give due notice of them. 
The Heartseases are numerous, varied, and choice; and 
among the rest are six choice seedlings, raised at Uxbridge, and 
obtainable only from Mr. Catleugh. These are White Perfection, 
British Queen, Vanguard, Miracle, Victory, and Perfecta. The 
Chrysanthemums, Verbenas, and others, are well worthy the at¬ 
tention of florists ; and we can assure them that every plant sent 
out by Mr. Catleugh is true to its name, and in excellent growing 
condition.
