THE FLORAL WOULD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



81 



therefore, the annexed list of sorts, selected I 

 from Mr. Salter's catalogue, appears at the 

 right moment for intending purchasers. 



Of the varieties named below we es- 

 pecially recommend " Arthur Wortley," 

 which was admirably figured in the March 

 number of the "Florist." It is beauti- 

 fully incurved, and the gold tips are well 

 set off by the warm salmon-rose of the 

 lower parts of the petals. Mrs. W. Ilolbom 

 is also a great acquisition to a class which 

 has hitherto been rather deficient;. It is a 

 pure ivory-white, full, and incurved, and 

 is a decided advance on the best whites of 

 the class. " Alarm," a large, crimson, re- 

 flexed flower, will be found useful for 

 general decorative purposes, bnt we doubt 

 if it will ever become a favourite at exhi- 

 bitions. The same may be said of Crista 

 Galli, fiery red and orange, in the way of 

 "Due de Conegliano." "Queen of the 

 Isles" is another pure white flower, of 

 highest merit. It is an improved " Vesta," 

 and may be grown to a large size without 

 being stimulated into coarseness. Among 

 the new pompones "Augusta" is perhaps 

 the best. It is blush white, beautifully 

 formed, of free habit, soas to be well adapted 

 for pot culture and exhibition. " Christi- 

 ana," yellow with brown points, a close, 

 compact flower, and " Mrs. Turner," pure 

 white hybrid pompone, were both figured 

 in the "Florist" of January last; they will 

 both be favourites. We observe with plea- 

 sure that the plants of this season are let 

 out at lower prices than formerly, ranging 

 from Ss.Gd. to 7*. each, the average being 5s.
