New and valuable hardy herbaceous perennials. The varieties from which the enclosed flowers were taken were obtained by Mr. Bliss from the continent of Europe, and are perfectly hardy having withstood the late winter without any protection; as such they will be found very valuable additions to this most useful class of plants.

The subjoined list contains the names of the latest new varieties, and the best in cultivation:

Duchesse De Brabant

Rich rosy crimson, bright yellow centre.

Delhayi

Rich reddish crimson, yellow centre.

Milleri

Purplish rose.

Roseum Nanum

White, tinted with bluish pink, orange yellow centre. Parthenium, Flore Pleno - Fine double white.

[The flowers were received in good condition. The Pink answers to the description, and is beautiful. The Pyrethrams are large and showy, and being proved hardy, will be an acquisition to the flower border. Mr. Barker's notes on new and select plants constitute a valuable feature in our magazine, and will be continued. - Ed].
