A few beautiful garden varieties have lately been intro- duced from the Continent, and have found much favoui with English amateurs. They are mostly of German origin, and are produced by crossing the purple and green flowered species, the result being in some cases flowers richly spotted, and of various shades of greenish-white, maroon, purple, and purplish-rose. The conspicuous yellow stamens, which contribute so much to the beauty of the white-flowered Christmas rose, are distinct and welcome features of these new ^-arieties of Lent roses, adding an element of cheerfulness that compensates for their other- wise dull colouring, for the colours of the petals are in all cases toned down by infusions of green and purple that render them impure. A collection of hellebores may now be looked for in every garden of hardy plants, to combine with the daffodils to "take the winds of Alarch with beauty.'".
