It is a seedling which in growth and character of flowers sug- gests A, mesopotamicum, but it is very much larger and more sti iking. The variegation is exceedingly handsome and distinct; in fact, it may be called the handsomest variegated abutilon we have.

In one window was a very large Marie Antoinette basket of silvered wil- low, standing on a bed of lycopodium. It was filled with an apparently careless mass of pale-tinted lilac, bordered with Primula obconica; Mabel Morrison roses were in the midst of the lilac, and a few sprays of lily of the valley were above.
