82 THE FLORIST. 



CARNATIONS. 



KEW OR SCARCE VARIETIES. 



Pujtley's Perfection^ purple flake. Thia 13 a superb varietj, being full, yet 

 not so full but that the beautiful marking can be seen to adrantage in every 

 petal ; good white, and smooth edges. 



May's Oiren Glendower, crimson bizarre. Figrired correctly in the FlorUt, 

 Tol- for 1849 : it is a full flower, a healthy, upright grower, but will be slow to 

 increase. 



^fays Romeo, rose flake, of a delicate shade. This variety was also figured in 

 the Florist. We have seen it far superior to the drawing, having a large and 

 finely-formed petal. Grently cupped : the flower as large as Garland, but not 

 quite so many petals ; good white, of beautiful texture. 



May's Falconbridge, pink bizarre ; has plenty of colour, which is not often 

 the case in this class ; good size, full and smooth. 



Hoilyoake's Dido, scarlet flake, very bright, and a good white ; full, and the 

 best of its class ; care is re<iuired in blooming, as it is rather short of pod. 



Hastings'" RainffCtc, crimson bizarre ; full size, and tolerably well marked ; 

 petal not of the best shape. 



Pulley's Jenny Lind, crimson bizarre. This is a full flower, and rather late, 

 but of the most striking colours, and well marked ; one of the best. 



Barrenger'i Duke of Devonshire, scarlet flake ; a neat flower, of medium size ; 

 white good. 



ChuHingfortT s Africanus,sczilet flake, very bright, marking excellent ; rather 

 smalL 



Pujrley's Robert Bruce, scarlet bizarre. Like all Mr. Puxley's flowers, it is 

 of good size ; colours brilliant, and evenlv marked. 



ClerUe's Rev. J. BramhaU, purple flake. A flower much in the style of 

 Squire Meynell, but larger, and much more constant. 



Pujcley's Emperor, scarlet bizarre ; fulL and much the shape of Brutus.
