Garden Variety. 



We formerly gave in this work figures of several ex- 

 tremely beautiful hybrid Azaleas raised at Highclere by 

 Lord Carnarvon. (See fol. 1366.) We now produce a 

 variety, which, if it yield to some of those in intensity of 

 colour, is certainly not surpassed in other respects. It is a 

 most abundant flowerer ; its blossoms are produced in large 

 clusters ; and the variation of tint caused by each corolla 

 being diversified with bright yellow, rose of different shades, 

 and white, gives the bush an air of richness that is hardly 

 to be exceeded. 



The plant having been liberally distributed by order of 

 Lord Carnarvon, and being now to be found in many of 

 the choicer collections of this country, it is to be hoped 

 that it will soon become common.
