This very sweet-flowered evergreen is regarded as hardy in England. A very healthy plant left out last winter to test was entirely destroyed, though the circumstances were rather favorable than otherwise. It will make a nice tub plant, to be treated like an orange or oleander.

A New Type of Single Dahlia - has been secured by Mr. Cullingford, of Kensington, and we direct attention to it as affording a change that will probably be much appreciated. The florets are narrow, pointed, slightly twisted, and placed sufficiently far apart to make a " windmill." The ultra florists will perhaps groan in reading our poor description, but we shall be greatly mistaken if they do not jump for joy when they see the flower. Well, we advise them to look for it, and to be in no great haste to subject it to the old floral rules. - Gardeners Magazine.
