agapanthus weilligi. 
A n€w species that is likely to prove hardy 
in many parts of the country. It bears a 
large umbellate head of fifty or sixty violet- 
blue flowers, which are of deeper violet shade 
at the base. The head is denser than in A. 
this season, and, curiously enough, it is a 
variety belonging to the new collarette sec¬ 
tion. The blooms are about five inches 
across, bright rich crimson-scarlet, and the 
quilled collar florets are light yellow. A 
very effective and striking variety. A.M.,

LYSIONOTUS WARLEYENSIS. 
Forming a little bush about nine inches 
high, bearing oblong-lanceolate, fleshy leaves 
that are white on the under surface, and 
white, purple-lined, tubular flowers, this 
Chinese plant attracted a good deal of atten¬

inches long, and the former are pr<xluced in 
the axils of the upi>er leaves. Tins gesneriad

GLADIOLUS CRAIGANOUR. 
A very fine variety, with well expanded 
flowers, carried boldly on a stout spike. The 
colouring is rather difficult to describe, but 
light rose-red about fits it, though there is a 
white line down the middle of each inner 
segment, and the lower petal is deeper and 
tractive. A.M., R.H.S., August 12. Miss 
Willmott, Y.M.H. (gardener, Mr. C. Fielder, 
V.M.H.), Warley Place, Great Warley, 
Essex. 
CALABIUM MADAME RENE MAROT. 
A delightful variety, chiefly of crimson 
colouring, with silvery-pink central area, 
deep carmine veins, and bronze shading at 
the margins of the moderate-sized leaves.
