Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany, 1859 WE offer with the new year our usual summary of the novelties of the past season. In doing this we wish it to be understood that it is the most prominent of those which have appeared in public, or have been figured or noticed in the various botanical and horticultural publications, that we here bring together for ready reference. There are, no doubt, others, which have found their way into gardens, which have not taken so prominent a position, or which we shall hear of hereafter. Our notes are necessarily brief, on account of the space they would otherwise have occupied, but we trust sufficient to give some general idea Of the several plants. We have thought it useful, moreover, to record the accessible figures of the plants which have been issued. Florists' flowers are excluded from our plan, and we have arranged our notes under the heads of orchids, stove plants, and greenhouse and hardy plants, for the purpose of greater distinctness.
