RADISH ROSE DE CHINE, for THE HORTICULTURIST, Published by C M.SAXTON , New York.
Balsam-ineae. A perennial Balsam, native of Ceylon and the Himalaya. It is a branching shrub, two or three feet high, with ovate leaves and rosy flowers.
These species are more delicate than the garden balsams, and their flowers are less abundant. These annuals the seeds are formed, which, from their long feathery appendages, have given to this plant the peculiar name by which it is often known, of "devil's head in the bushes."
Lobelia cardinalis and siphilitica. Few flowers of the garden or green-house equal in brilliancy the scarlet cardinal flower. This, and the latter species, which is blue, in August adorn the banks of our streams with their tall spikes of flowers, and attract the attention of the most careless observer.
A fine strong growing variety, well adapted for planting in masses; flowers a rich rosy salmon.
This is a new cherry, as yet but little grown in this country. It, however,, promises to become quite valuable, and especially West and Southwest. It is of the Duke family, size of May Duke, rich dark red, with a reddish flesh, tender, juicy, subacid, and ripening about the same time as the May Duke.
In size, color, and texture of fruit, very similar to Imperial Scarlet; but different in form; flavor, good; plant, vigorous and productive.
Very pale green leaves, suffused with rosy crimson, shaded red.
