Garden Variety. 



The present is a third variety of Azalea, raised at the 

 Earl of Caernarvon's by Mr. Gowen, in the manner stated 

 at fol. 13GG. It has an appearance ahnost intermediate 

 between A. calendulacea and nudiflora, from which it ori- 

 ginated, but partakes more of the character of the former 

 than of the latter. The clear delicate pink border of the 

 pure white segments of the corolla, and the bright yellow 

 blotch upon one of them, give this variety a peculiarly 

 neat appearance, wherefore Mr. Gowen calls it A. lepida.
