From Geo. Leslie, Toronto, C. W., seedling Cinerarias. Beauty of Toronto - white center, purple edge. Blue Bonnet (Kennedy) - dark blue, large, but a loose, open, imperfect flower; the color alone is good. Lesliana - white center and crimson on edge; good color, but the petals are narrow and shape very poor. Canada West (Kennedy) - white, with a light edging of lilac; delicate and pretty, but wanting character and distinctness. In the collection of unnamed seedlings examined last month, there were some half a dozen better than any of the present lot.

Seedling Calceolaries - all pretty, but none of them remarkable. No. 1 is large and colors good; but among hundreds of seedlings which we have seen in bloom this spring, we have found no new colors nor combinations. Deep or light yellow, or cream, with a light or heavy marbling of light red, dark red or maroon. The various combinations of these colors, however, are very interesting.

We are indebted to J. J. H. Gregory, the extensive seed grower and dealer of Mar-blehead, Mass., for a collection of garden seeds, many of them varieties of late introduction. They will all receive the best of care, and we hope to give a good report of them next fall.

Also to Messrs. Washburn & Co., Boston, for a package of seed of the new Russian sunflower.

Our thanks are due to John Saul, Esq., of Washington, D. C, for a fine collection of the new Zonale and Nosegay Geraniums; also varieties with variegated leaves, among which "Mrs. Pollock," with splendid foliage of green, crimson, and yellow; Golden Nugget, with bright yellow leaves of large size; and Scepter d'Or, with golden, yellow leaves, marked with a bronze red zone, are the most worthy of notice. We shall report upon them all in the fall.

John Edgerton, Esq., of Vinewood Nursery, Coal Creek, Iowa, sends us tomato seeds, which he describes as having spotted markings, and therefore a curiosity. They are in our amateur friend's hands, and will be duly reported upon.

Jas. Littlehale, Esq., Stockton, Cal., sends us several varieties of melon seeds and one of tomato, for which he has our thanks. These also we have passed over for our friend to grow and report upon.

We are indebted to J. S. Downer, Esq., of Fairview, Todd County, Ky., for seeds of the Downer water-melon. In speaking of it, Mr. D. says he received the variety thirty-two years since from Louisiana, and has since kept it pure. It has a remarkably thin rind, a rich and sweet flesh, and weighing fifty pounds and upward each. We have passed the seed into careful hands, and hope in due time to hear how it succeeds at the North.
