Rhododendron Fosterianum is one of the most magnificent of the genus I have seen. The flower measures about six inches across, beautiful clear white, with a dash of yellow on the upper petal, and very fragrant. There are others of the same type, very fine; in fact, all in this section are well worth cultivating.

Laelia harpophylla is one of the most charming orchids, on account of its color - described in the London catalogues as orange scarlet - lasts long in beauty, and, as far as my experience goes, is easy to cultivate.

Freesia refracta alba, a bulb lately introduced, is a nice thing; easy to cultivate, free flowering, with a delicious odor. This bulb when it is better known cannot fail to become a great favorite. It grows nicely in pure, turfy soil, with enough sand to make it porous. Cover bulbs slightly, place on a shelf near the glass, water sparingly until the plants are some inches high. With such simple treatment the plants grew well, and flowered beyond all expectations.

Glonera jasminiflora is a stove plant of remarkable beauty, forming a neat shrubby bush, covered with Bouvardia-like flowers of the purest white. This is a decided acquisition to our stove plants, and should be in every collection.
