Mr. Pierce raised twelve kinds, brief descriptions of which he sent us last season; but, as they only referred to the color of the flowers, we thought it preferable to delay their publication until we could render them complete. Most of our plants have flowered finely this year, and we have been enabled to do so, and we now annex the following descriptions of each:—
Miss Gunnell.—Flowers, medium size, of a delicate blush or buff, precisely of the shade of Lady Hume Camellia, cupped, very regular, and double: clusters, large and spreading, numbering twenty-five to thirty flowers: foliage, large, undulated, and partially rugose: habit, vigorous and good. This is quite unique for the delicate tint of its flowers, which are produced in large clusters. It is one of the very best.
