178 THE FLORIST. 



In Roses, Heroine would have taken first for feather, as it generally 

 does. Headky's Mary Headley would have been the best flamed. Byb- 

 loemens, feathered, by far the best was a Chellaston, shown in the first 

 stand tor siiX blooms. The same flower was figured by us in 1852, 

 under the name of Chellaston Beauty, but there is no certainty what 

 the names of these Chellaston flowers really are. 



The finest flowers of each class are marked with an asterisk. The 

 first stands of twelve and six blooms were finely-grown specimens, very 

 pure, and generally well marked. We subjoin the awards.
