cnlavly pleasant, tlie odour of many of the varieties partaking 

 much of that of orano-c-blossom. Tlie blooms should be con- 

 tinually cut off the plants, and not allowed to go to seed if fine 

 trusses arc required ; if the plants are well grown, the foot- 

 stalks of the blooms will be sufficiently long for any decorative 

 purposes for whicli they may be required." 



Eacli year shows that ]Mr. Perry still improves the character 

 of his flowers ; of those cxliibited this season, for which he has 

 received several first-class certificates, we have selected three 

 for illustration. 3Iiss Tiuiicr (Fig. 1) is a splendid white 

 flower, very large, with bright rosy-pink eye ; truss large and 

 Avell-formed. Thomas llayvis (Fig. 2) is a rich, deep plum of 

 fine form ; and Interesting (Fig. 3) is a large light crimson 

 flower with yellow eye ; all flowers of first-rate quality.
