. Bliss and Son's illustrated spring catalogue and amateur's guide to the flower and kitchen garden. Flowers Catalogs; Plants Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Catalogs. SUPPLEMENT. in. Cyclamen Persicum " Giganteum " (New.) NOVKLTIES—(Continued.) H53 Cyclamen Persicum " Gigantenm " (New.)—This superb variety is a new and greatly improveil type, having very broad, beautifully mottled coriaceous leaves, and stout flower- stalks, throwing the flowers well above the foliage, each flower measuring from 2 to inches in length, with broad petals of great substance, pure white, with a finebold violet- purple eye. Per packet, $ 1466 Cockscomb, {Glasgow Prize).—Plants from this celebrated strain were exhibited in Lon- don, last season, which measured 33 to 36 inches from tiiJ to tip, and from 14 to 17 inches in breadth. Per pacl:et, 5ncents. 1468 Codetia, (" Ladv Albermarle.)—A superb novelty in this favorite class of annuals. The plants are densely bushy and compact, about 12 inches high, and covered with a profu- sion of splendid glossy cai-miHe flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. For effect, this new variety surpasses all other', both for its unusually large flowers and the richness of their coloring. Ii may be sown in both Autumn and Spring. Per packet, 25 cents. 1469 Humea eleprans albida.—As the panicles of this new variety are of a whitish shade, it will be found verj- elTective if employed together with the other sorts. The flowers are also suitable for dyeing, when they are useful for bouquets. Per packet, 50 cents. 1471 Pentstemon confertus var. coerulea purpureus, (bluish-purple Pentstemon.)—The Pentstemons are all natives of America and nearly all the species are well worthy of cul- tivation, both for the beauty of their flowers as well as their leaves. This species is a native of Colorado and westward, and though the individual flowers are small, the want of size is more than made up by their numbers
