NEW ZONAL PELARGONIUMS. 



DOWNTE, LA1ED, and LAING most respectfully announce that they will send out the 

 following splendid varieties, which have been so much admired, and have received the highest 

 yards wherever shown, including First-class Certificates at the Boyal Horticultural Society. 

 The following extract is from the ' Journal of Horticulture,' July 17, 1866 : — " There are so many 

 good Nosegays, and so much alike, that it requires something quite new in colour to surpass them, 

 or, in many cases, to equal them. The large bold truss of Stella and Le Grand, or the KING OF 

 THE NOSEGAYS, must be the models of perfection in this class of flowers." 



ING OF THE NOSEGAYS.— Bright orange-scarlet. Very large truss, dwarf habit. Very 

 free and most effective variety. 7s. 6d. each. 

 MBS. LA1NG (Nosegay). — Glowing carmine-scarlet. Very dwarf, free, and most effective as a 



bedder. A beautiful and distinct variety. 5s. each. 

 MRS. MENZIES. — Bright rosy-salmon. Flowers perfect, good habit, free, and very fine. 5s. each. 

 SAMBO. — Very dark glussy scarlet, of great substance. Flowers of the finest form. Very large, 

 compact, globular truss ; quite distinct from all others. 7s. <$d. each. 



Ready second week in May.

NEW ZONAL PELARGONIUMS. 



SALTMAESH and SON, Nurserymen, Seedsmen, and Florists, Chelmsford, have great pleasure 

 in introducing the following SEEDLINGS of their own raising, feeling confident they will give 

 equal satisfaction with the two now well-known varieties, Luna and Little Treasure, sent out by 

 them in 1865. They will be ready for distribution in May next. Early orders are solicited, as the 

 stock is limited. 



ZONAL PELAEGONITJMS. 



REINE D'lTALIE (Saltmarsh and Son). — A seedling from the highly esteemed variety Roi d'ltalie, possessing all 

 the good properties of its parent in compactness of habit, profusion, form, and size of flowers, each blossom 

 measuring 1£ of an inch in diameter ; colour, pale salmon-flesh, shading off to flesh-white at the edges, with pure 

 white eye, altogether forming a most attractive specimen for pot culture. Price 7*. 6d. each. 



CRITERION (Saltmarsh and Son). — Also a seedling from Roi d'ltalie, with darker zone, producing an abundance of 

 flowers, of the large size of its parent, of the most perfect form, and borne on stout footstalks ; habit compact 

 and vigorous ; colour bright orange-vermilion, with small white eye. Price It. 6d. each. 



VAEIEOATED ZONAL PELAEGONIUMS. 



METEOR (Saltmarsh and Son).— Foliage large and flat, almost circular, having a green disc about 1± inch in 

 diameter, surrounded by a very broad and well-defined zone of deep sienna maroon and bright red in about equal 

 proportions, leaving a clear margin of about a quarter of an inch of bright chrome-yellow ; flowers bright scarlet 

 with white eye ; habit compact and vigorous. Figured in ' Floral Magazine ' for January, 1867. 



The above splendid variety will prove a valuable addition to the Golden Tricolor section of variegated Pelargo- 

 niums. It is quite distinct from any variety hitherto introduced, and was awarded a First-class Certificate at 

 the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting in September, 1864. Price 21*. each. 



ELECTRIC (Saltmarsh and Son) .—Foliage greenish-yellow, changing with exposure to sun and air to a rich golden 

 yellow, with a very broad zone of dark chocolate, in the way of Luna, but more heavily zoned, and of more 

 robust habit, producing fine trusses of scarlet flowers, with white eye. Price 10*. 6d. each. 



VENUS (Saltmarsh and Son).— Foliage greenish-yellow, changing to golden-yellow, with slight bronze zone; habit 

 compact and spreading, producing neat trusses of well-formed flowers on short footstalks of a soft and pleasing 

 shade of rosy-cerise, altogether forming a most attractive variety by the harmonious blending of its colours and 

 its remarkably close habit of growth. Price 10*. 6d. each. 



SNOWSTORM (Saltmarsh and Son). —Foliage green, with a very deep edge of pure white. This variety will be 

 found to display a greater proportion of white variegation than any other yet produced. The leaves are less 

 disposed to curl than most varieties of this class ; in addition to which, the habit is exceedingly close, yet robust 

 and bushy ; flowers rosy-scarlet, with white eye. Price 10*. 6d. each.
