Clematis aristata. Class Polyandria. Order Polygynia. A native of New South Wales, whence it was introduced about the year 1812. It is a shewy greenhouse climber, not at all tender, and flowers abundantly during the spring months.
If planted in the fukk ground in a conservatory it runs fast, and usually retains its leaves very well during the whole of the year.
It may be propagated without difficulty by cuttings, which while small are slow in their growth, but as they acquire strength, advance more rapidly. The soil should be sandy loam.

Clematis calycina. Class Polyandria. Order Polygynia. This is a native of the Island of Minorca, yet perfectly hardy with us. It amkes a very pretty climber, and the flowers appearing late in autumn, render it the more pleasing: the inside of each flower is curiously streaked, and if the season is mild they last a long time.
It will grow in any good soil, and may be increased without much difficulty by layers.

Clematis campaniflora. A native of Portugal, first described by Brotero, who found it in hedges, by the road from Oporto to Coimbra.
It is a climbing plant, growing to the height of eight feet or more, with many branches, towards the extremities of which the flowers are produced: with us they come out in the latter part of the summer; they are very delicate, of a clear purplish white.
The plant endures our climate very well on a wall, and will sometimes ripen ist seeds, by which, or by layers, it amy be increased, and flourishes in any garden soil.

Clematis cirrhosa. This a native of the shores of the Mediterranean: it has been Long known in this Country, and endures mild winters very well, flowering in December; but in severe frosts is usually killed, unless planted against a wall, in a sheltered spot. It will climb to the height of ten feet or more, and is nearly evergreen.
It may be increased freely by layers: the soil should be rich loam.

Clamatis ochroleuca. Class Polyandria. Order Polygynia. A native of North America, growing in Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. It is an herbaceous plant, not much exceeding a foot in height, and with us it usually flowers in the month of May. The blossoms have never produced seed here, and the plant is not easily increased by separating the roots. It is quite hardy, and may be planted in fresh loam.

Clematis angustifolia. This is a herbaceous species: it grows to the height of three feet: the flowers are clear White, large, smooth within, and wooly on the outside. We raised this under the Name of lasiantha, from seeds communicated by our highly esteemed friend Dr. Fischer, Director of the Imperial Botanic Garden of St. Petersburg; an Institution which under ist able Management, and supported by the munificence of the Emperor, bids fair to outvie similar Establishments, in far less inhospitable climates. Our plant agrees exactly with the description angustifolia of Decandolle.
It is a native of Siberia round Mount Argun, according to Pallas, and beyond Baikal lake, according to Dmelin.
It is perfectly hardy, and will grow in any good garden soil. It may sometimes be increased by separating the roots, not having yet ripened its seeds in this country.

Paeonia Moutan - rosea. In Messrs. Sabine and Anderson's valuable Monograph of the Genus Paeonia, in the Transactions of the Linnaean Society, this plant is related to have been introduced from China, by Mr. Greville, in 1794. We first obtained our's from Mr. Hibbert. It partakes in an eminent degree of the magnificence appertaining to the whole of this important genus: the flowers are fragrant, and seem to be more or less double in Proportion to the vigour of the plant: they are produced in April and May.
We find this rather more tender than the other kinds. In order to have it in perfection, it should be kept under glass from the commencement of ist growth till it has done flowering. It is only propagated by layers, which renders it still a very scarce plant. The soil should be rich loam.

PAEONIA MOLLIS. [in Index: Soft Paeony]
Class POLYANDRIA. Order PENTAGYNIA.
This is a native of parts of the Russian Empire; we have long had it in cultivation. It is perennial, of low growth, usually little more than a foot, with a thick stem, flowering in May. It will grow in any good garden soil, and is quite hardy, and not difficult to increase by dividing the roots.
It was first described by Messrs. Sabine and Anderson. in their excellent monograph on Paeonias, in the Linnaean Transactions.

Paeonia officinalis sabini. The Paeonia officinalis is a plant which has been Long universally known. It was cultivated before the time of Pliny, and has had various medicinal virtues ascribed to it, which seem to have been all superseded. The single variety was not known in this Country in modern times till discovered by Mr. Sabine, in an old garden in Hertfordshire. The late Mr. Anderson, in the valuable monograph on this superb genus in the Linnaean Transactions, has named it after his excellent coadjutor in that work, than whom no one can be more deserving of the distinction.
It is a native of hilly Woods in the South of Europe, and some parts of Asia. It flowers profusely in June, and is a great Ornament to the gardens: it may be increased by dividing the roots, and will grow in almost any soil or Situation.

Rosa spinosissima picta. [in Index: Painted Scotch Rose] Class Icosandria. Order Polygynia. The Scotch Roses have of late years been much cultivated, and both double and single seem capable of producing interminable varieties. The present was raised by us from seed about five years since; it is a paricularly showy one, and well deserves encouraging.
These roses are not so readily increased by layers as the other kinds, but may be raised by suckers or cuttings of the roots. They are the earliest in bloom, sometimes coming out by the beginning or middle of May, and will grow in almost any soil, forming low bushy shrubs, which, as they flower in great profusion, are highly ornamental.
