 NOSEGAY PELArvGOXIUJir, EMMELINE. 



Slella has generally been considered the tyi)e of a true nose- 

 gay, and "an improvement on Stella" "in tlie same style as 

 Stella" has been generally considered the best character wliich 

 can be given of a new flower. If, then, wc> describe Emmcline 

 as a " Rose Stella" we shall, perhaps, best convey the idea of 

 the flower to those w ho are lovers of the nosegay section, and 

 who have not had an opportunity of seeing it as exhibited this 

 season by Messrs. Downie, Laird, and Laing, of Stanstead Park, 

 Forest Hill, and Edinburgh, who have already by their fine 

 flowers, Mrs. Laing and King of Nosegays, won a name for 

 themselves in this popidar class of flowers.

 those varieties which are to be sent out by this firm next sea- 

 son, for it will be seen that they have been highly thought of
