in this position they are left until September, the foliage being 

 of a rich green, and the bloom-buds well formed by that time. 

 Madame Ambroise Verschaffelt is a flower of large size, the 

 general colour a light pinkish-blush, each petal having one 

 or more distinct flakes of bright pink, quite as regular as 

 in many of the varieties of Carnations. The foliage is large 

 and ample, and we have to express our obligation to Mr. Ver- 

 schaffelt for the opportunity of figuring it.
