ARDEN VARIETY. 
AS: Y ighcleré in the same year 
with those already figi | previous parts of this work, 
and is a seedling from coccinea major, impregnated 
by the pollen of Azalea pontica. , The figure gives but an 
inadequate notion of its beauty, partly owing to the brilliant 
effect of the surface of the petals, which cannot be repre- 
sented, and also in consequence of the beauty of the speci- 
men having been impaired by the unprecedented frost of 
last spring, which injured the whole inflorescence. When 
in vigour, the umbel is double the size.” 
Our drawing was made from specimens obligingly com- 
municated by the Earl of Caernarvon. We are indebted 
to Mr. Gowen for the preceding notes about it. YT
