Iluntroyde, Groom, of Ipswicli, vSniith, of Dulwicli, Chater, of 

 Cambridge, Henderson, of St. Jolm's Wood, and last, not least, 

 Mr. Saltmarsli, of Clielmsford, have each to record success. 

 AVith the latter we have now to do, as Meteor, one of the results 

 of his success, is the subject of the present Plate. A com- 

 parison of this with our figure oi Mrs. PoUocJc (Plate 101), will 

 at once show the greater brilliancy of colour that Meteor 

 possesses : the dark brownish-crimson zone is much more 

 decided, and the scarlet zone does not run so much into it as 

 in the older variety ; it deservedly received a tirst-class certi- 

 ficate from the Royal Horticultural Society, and will be let out 

 in the spring with other ^ arieties of the same raiser.
