Primula Mollis. Adeline

This is a most beautiful plant with large cordate leaves of from two to three inches diameter, covered with soft hairs. From the centre of this large tuft of leaves springs up the flower stem, which attains about a foot high, and all along it are whorls of handsome flowers of a fine purple colour, which last a long time in perfection, and as the lower stem grows higher, the blossoms keep coming out. It is really a beautiful thing, and should be in everybody's garden.

Your correspondent, "A Pennsylvanian," in July, last year, says: "I place Belmont or Mamma Beam Apple as from Virginia." Please ask him to refer to my book, and state just what I do say. There has been much dispute as to the origin of this apple, and others have written who claim to know as much as "A Pennsylvanian".

Pritchardia Grandis

A strikingly handsome Palm, with this name, has been introduced by Wm. Bull, into England, from the South Sea Islands. Its height is about three feet. The stock appears to be somewhat angular, and is surrounded with a fibrous net-work. The leaves are about two feet in length. The color is dark shining-green above, paler beneath, and the surface is quite destitute of pubescense. The leaves are originally flat, but become convex as they grow older. They remind one of a large palm-leaved fan, with ends drooping. Although its name has been given only temporarily by Mr. Bull, and it is not considered permanent, yet it is considered, by The Gardener's Chronicle, a plant so fine for ornamental purposes that few can surpass it. The sketch which we have seen of it is most graceful and attractive.
