SPLENDID NEW HARDY ANNUAL, VISCARIA OCULATA CCERULEA.

F. K. BURRIDGE,

SEED GROWER, IPSWICH,

Has great pleasure in announcing that he has now ready for distribution a limited Stock of this Magnificent NEW VISCARIA. He feels the utmost confidence in recommending it as one of the very Best Novelties amongst Annuals which has been offered to the Public.

It is a Seedling from the well-known Vlscaria oculata Cardlnalis, and was raised by F. K. B., at the Seed Farm, Colchester. The flowers are very large, of the most lovely blue colour, with a dark eye. It is exceedingly hardy, one of the great recommendations of this fine novelty being that it flowers so very freely, a perpetual succession of bloom is kept up during the whole season. For massing in beds, or as a line in a ribbon border lor spring gardening, it will be found invaluable.

Primula japonica (New Crimson Primrose).

MR. WILLIAM BULL begs to announce that he is now sending out SEED of this new hardy PRIMROSE and its varieties. P. japonica has been figured in the Florisl and Poviologist, Floral Magazine, and Botanical Magazine, and the opinion of every- one who has seen it in blossom may be expressed m the one word. " lovely I" When exhibited before the Floral Committe of the Royal Horticultural Society, it was voted a First-class Certificate by acclamation.

The seed now offered was saved in Japan, and has just been received from that country through Mr. Carl Kramer ; so that it is offered with- out any guarantee as to growth, and Mr. W, B. thinks it only right to stale that it is doubtful if it will grow : still, plants have been raised from seed received from Japan ofthis Primula, and may be again, but imported seed has also often failed to grow. In forwarding the seed, Mr. Kramer remarks that care should be taken not to destroy the seed-pans in which the seeds are sown, because thevtakea long time to germinate; and Mr. W, B.'s experience is that tney lay six or eight months before starting; but Mr. K. observes that they sometimes take two years.

The Florist says of it : — " Hail ! Queen of the Primroses I for so its introducer designates the lovely flower we now figure, which is hardy as a peasant, resplendent as a princess. It is just ten years since Mr. Fortune met with it in Japan ; some plants were secured, but the journey home was too much for them, and despite every care none reached England alive. Ever since that time endeavours have been made to introduce this lovely plant. At last, perseverance has been rewarded, and plants have been raised in the establishment of Mr. W. Bull, of Chelsea- Our gardens have thus secured a perfectly new, thoroughly hardy, and exquisitely lovely Primrose, one which is really valuable. Of the hardiness of the Primula japonica there can be no doubt, for plants have stood all the winter, fully exposed, in the trying atmosphere of London."

The Floral Magazine remarks: — "Since the day when Lilium auratum was displayed to the horticultural public, we cannot recollect so great a sensation to have been occasioned by any plant as by that which we now figure, when Mr. William Bull exhibited it, and he may well congratulate himself on being the first to introduce it into Europe. A Primula a foot anda-half high, bearing four or five separate whorls of flowers, each flower an inch in diameter, and of a splendid magenta colour, and the plant perfectly hardy — can anything be added to tnis to indicate its value ? "

One great merit of the New Japanese Primrose is that it yields varieties no less beautiful than itself, and, in addition to the species. Seeds of the following are offered : — Per pkt. — s. d.

PRIMULA JAPONICA.— Bright rosy crimson or magenta

colour, with maroon-crimson centre, exceedingly handsome 2 6 PRIMULA JAPONICA ALBA.— This has white flowers, with

a golden-yellow zone round the eye ■ . 26

MR. LAXTON'S NEW PEAS FOR 1872.

SXJPEBIiATIVE, Average Size. (From a Phoiograph.)

Messrs. Hurst & Son,

HAVING BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF

THE rOLLOWII& DISTIICT lOVELTIES II GAEDEI PEAS,

THE LATEST PRODUCTIONS OF MR. LAXTON, WILL, THIS SEASON, BE PREPARED TO SUPPLY A LIMITED QUANTITY OF EACH, IN SMALL PACKETS, FOR TRIAL ONLY.

WILLIAM THE FIRST.

The finest Pea yet sent out for earliness, flavour, and appearance combined. It is a first early variety, with long and well-filled deep greenish pods ; ripe seed parti- coloured, like " Ne Plus Ultra." It has been thoroughly tested and recommended at the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens at Chiswick on several occasions, and was the only Pea exhibited in Mr. Gilbert's first prize " Gardener's " collection of Vegetables at the Society's Exhibition at Nottingham in July last. Height 3 feet.— For further description see *' Hogg's Gardeners' Year Book for 1871," page 73.

GRIFFIN.

A remarkable and distinct variety, as early as ' ' Sangster's No. i, " of a fine colour and flavour when cooked ; the ripe seed is also of a bright grass-green colour, and well calculated to supply "Green Peas all the year round. " Pods medium-sized : height about 2 feet 6 inches.

POPUIiAR.

For general crop this Blue Wrinkled Marrow will be found earlier, more prolific, and to have better filled pods than those of *' Champion of England," to which variety it is quite equal in flavour, and against which it should be tried. Height above 4 feet.

SUPERLATIVE.

The largest and finest podded variety yet raised : indispensable as an Exhibition Pea. The pods, which have been exhibited 7 inches in length, are more than twice the size of those of the parent Pea, " Laxton's Supreme," which during the last three seasons has taken nearly every first prize when shown in competition. It is also quite as early as that variety, and very prolific. As "Superlative " sometimes runs 7 or 8 feet in height, it should be sUghtly pinched in when the growth is about 5 feet. The colour and flavour of the Peas, when cooked, are excellent.

OMEGA.

This dwarfish late Pea was raised by fertilising " Ne Plus Ultra " with " Veitch's Perfection," and has all the valuable characteristics of the former variety. It is remarkably prolific, the pods are very fine and closely filled, and the flavour and colour of the Peas, when cooked, unequalled. Ripe seed like " Ne Plus Ultra." Height 2 feet 6 inches.

1^^ These Peas can be confidently recommended by Mr. Laxton as decided acquisitions, having been thoroughly tested by him for several years, and selected at great expense from hundreds of cross-fertilised varieties, themajority of which, although far in advance of older sorts in cultivation, have been discarded and suppressed.
