but its beauty will be more fully developed at tbe autumn 

 exhibitions, as special prizes will be offered for single blooms 

 at most of tbe London and country sbows. Prince Albert 

 will, we are assured, become one of tbe most attractive among 

 dark-coloured varieties, especially as a specimen plant. Its 

 fine dwarf habit, large double flowers, brilliant colour, and 

 general good properties, will give it rank second to none as a 

 conservatory plant. It is well know T n that Mr. Salter does 

 not grow T Chrysanthemums for public exhibition, all those at 

 his nursery being in their natural state ; we therefore 

 anticipate that both these flowers will be shown at the next 

 exhibitions, very much larger and more perfect than they have 

 been yet seen. They will be sent out from the Versailles 

 Nursery, Hammersmith, by the end of April, and may also be 

 obtained from all the principal nurseries.
