The varieties now figured, for which we are indebted to 

 Messrs. Cutbush and Son, Highgate, were selected by us from 

 the large collection exliibited by them at their auniuil spring 

 exliibition at the Crystal Palace, as they seemed to be more 

 novel and remarkable in their colouring than many others more 

 brilliant perhaps than they are. La Plaisantc {Y\q. 1) is a large 

 golden-yellow flower, barred at the sides with crimson, and with 

 a broad flame of crimson-lilac in the centre of each petal. Vaii 

 Spaivdoncl' (Fig. 2) is a cream-coloured flower, slightly stained 

 with green, flamed and barred with lilac-crimson.
