Prolific currant or Niagara grape-like stipulations. Mignonette Marvel is a new variety from France. It was awarded two first- grand prizes at the grand floral exhibi- tion in June last, in connection with the Paris Exhibition. The flowers are de- scribed as "very double, pure white, of immense size and striking puritv, and of exceptional merit for using in a cut state, especially for white bouquets. Owing to the flowers being so verj' double the seed is produced very sparingly.'' We have it in good condition.

It is hardy as a rock and has a wealth of fine leaves richly and broiully variegated with golden yellow. It seldom "bums" in summer, and it is the best variegated shrub grown. .\ristolociiias in New Orleans.—Un- der date of July 13, a gentleman in New Orleans writes to me: "I have just now three
