§ 1. Flowers scarlet. — 31. Agatha, 

 from Messrs. Rollisson and Sons. Medium 

 habit ; leaves boldly zonate ; flowers small, 

 in compact trusses, scarlet. Inferior. 



32. Amazon, from Messrs. Eraser. 

 Vigorous habit ; leaves distinctly zonate ; 

 flowers large, well formed, in large com- 

 pact trusses, on long hairy stalks, light 

 scarlet. A good variety for pillars in con- 

 servatories. 



33. Baeox Hugel, from Mr. Turner, 

 Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Scott. Also known 

 as Conway's Princess Royal, and Dr. 

 Duval. Dwarf and spreading in habit, 

 with distinctly zonate leaves ; flowers 

 medium-sized, in small trusses, scarlet. 

 It appears to be an early and profuse 

 bloomer ; and producing briglit-coloured 

 flowers, and decidedly horse-shoe-marked 

 foHage, is to be recommended. 



34. BiSHOPSTOWE, from Mr. Turner. 

 Medium habit ; leaves boldly zonate ; 

 flowers medium-sized, in comjiact trusses, 

 bright scarlet. A good old sort. 



35. Beitish Flag, from Mr. Tiu-ner 

 and Mr. Taylor. Mediuni spreading 

 habit ; leaves distinctly zoned and mottled 

 with green ; flower-stalks pale-coloured ; 

 flowers large, in medium-sized trusses, 

 light scarlet. It was considered a good 

 and useful variety for in-door culture, in 

 greenhouses and conservatories. 



36. Captitation, from Mr. Turner 

 and Mr. Scott. Vigorous habit, with boldly 

 zonate leaves ; flowers fuU size, in bold 

 long-stalked trusses, scarlet. It is similar 

 in character to Empress of the French, but 

 the trusses are bolder, and it was pro- 

 nounced a good variety of the large or 

 vigorous habited series. 



37. Claeissa, from Messrs. RolHsson 

 and Sons. Medium habit ; leaves dis- 

 tinctly zonate ; flowers small, in compact 

 trusses, scarlet.

 but a good variety for in-door culture. 



39. Compactum: coccineum, from 

 Messrs. Eraser. Vigorous habit ; leaves 

 boldly zonate ; flowers small, in compact 



trusses, scarlet ; similar to Royalist and 

 Bishopstowe, but not so bright in colour. 



40. Conway's Royalist, from the 

 Society's collection. Medium habit, rather 

 spreading ; leaves boldly zonate ; flowers 

 small, in compact trusses, bright scarlet : 

 it is similar to Bishopstowe, but rather 

 dwarfer, and is a useful variety. 



41. Cottage Maid, from Mr. Scott. 

 Medium habit ; leaves boldly zonate ; 

 flowers medium-sized, scarlet. Inferior. 



42. Empress of the Feench, from 

 Mr. Tiu-ner and Messrs. Low and Co. 

 Vigorous habit, \vith boldly zonate leaves ;

 variety is rather coarse, and was considered 

 inferior to British Flag.

 ferior.

 Medium habit ; leaves boldly zonate ; 

 flowers medium-sized, scarlet. Inferior. 



47. LiLLiPUT, from Mr. Turner. Very 

 dwarf; leaves small, with distinct dark

 gem.

 variety, with fine bold inflorescence.

 Medium habit ; leaves boldly zouate ; 

 flowers medium-sized, loose, scarlet. In-

 flowers large, of good shape, produced in 

 fair-sized trusses, bright scarlet. A variety
