with ring of ricli crimson and inner circle of pure white ; it is a 

 very attractive flower. "We have also seen another, Orh of Bay, 

 which is perhaps even finer than these. They have all obtained 

 certificates from the Eoyal Horticultural Society, and have been 

 greatly admired by all who have had the opportunity of seeing 

 them. Those who prefer growing from seed, will have the ad- 

 vantagfe of knowinsr that seed saved from the collection of 

 Messrs. Smith has produced these fine flowers, and no time 

 should be lost in sowing it, in order to produce good plants 

 for next sj)ring. But our advice would be to have a few good 

 plants, of whose merits there can be no doubt, rather than a 

 number of indifferent ones.
