i DOWNIE, LAIRD, & LAING 
_ Have much pleasure in introducing this splendid Novelty, which was pronounced by the Members of the Floral 
| Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society, and also by the Judges of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Regent’s 
Park, as the finest PINK PELARGONIUM ever exhibited, and was awarded a First-class Certificate on each 
” oceasion. , 
The following description is from the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society of London :—“ One of the finest 
of the pink-flowered Bedding varieties yet seen, remarkable, not so much for size of flower as for size and completeness 
of truss; the leaves were marked with a pale zone; the flowers were rosy-pink ; the base of the upper petals white, 
_and the trusses are remarkably large and dense, having the valuable property of retaining their blossoms for a long 
~ time in the truss.” 
2 PRIMULA, CALCEOLARIA, ETC. 
Ww. CUTBUSH AND SON are now sending out Seed of their superb PRI- 
é MULA SINENSIS FIMBRIATA, which has for many years given great satisfaction. 
The ‘Gardeners’ Chronicle’ of the 6th of January, in Notices to Correspondents, says :— 
“The blooms sent are remarkably fine, richly coloured, full, and densely fringed ; they are evi- 
dently the produce of a capital strain.” ie

coloured Chinese Primulas we have yet seen are those raised by Messrs. Cutbush and Son.”
