As the collection at this establishment (Mr. Bliss's) is now in fine bloom, and being the best time to notice them, without trusting to memory, I will describe a few of the new with some of the older varieties, such as should be grown in all select collections:

Cinerarias. Sir Charles Napier

This is decidedly the best blue which has come under my observation. Shape of flower, and habit of plant, first-rate; a splendid variety.

Lady Paxtan

White, with beautiful lilac-purple margin, with dark disk petals, well formed, and producing large, compact heads of bloom; one of the best in cultivation.

Admiral Dundas

A very beautiful variety; white, with pale blue-purple margin, and of excellent habit.

Optima (Hopwood's)

A charming variety in color; it is clear white, with broad, crimson margin, dwarf and beautiful habit An excellent exhibition variety, and should be grown in every select collection.

Rosy Queen (Bliss's)

Rosy Queen (Bliss's), is a very attractive variety. Color, white, with a broad, rosy-crimson margin. Habit, very dwarf.

Magnum Bonum

A splendid variety. Color, a rich purple-crimson, with a small, clear white ring around a black disk. Habit, first-rate, and, for exhibition purposes, unsurpassed.

Lablache

A good variety for exhibition. Color, light blue. Habit, dwarf, and first-rate.

Queen Of England

A fine and beautiful variety. Color, clear white, with a beautiful, bright, rosy-crimson margin, and a dark disk. Excellent form and habit.

Fair America

Fair America, is a rich violet-purple and crimson, with a beautiful, clear white ring round a black disk. Good form and habit.

Emperor Of France

A first-class flower. Color, a bright, rosy crimson, with a clear, broad, white ring round a dark disk. A beautiful and very attractive flower.

Several other new kinds, just received from Europe, shall be reported on when sufficiently in flower.
