 smooth on the edges, and full size.

 solid and firmly ; white good ; petal of fine substance and shape ; 

 not only the best of its class, but one of the best Picotees in culti- 

 vation. A certificate was awarded to Mr. Bragg's Duke of Wel- 

 lington, scarlet bizarre, but for what reason we could not discover, 

 for there are at least a score far superior flowers in this class already. 

 A certificate was also awarded to his Princess Alice, a small neat 

 yellow Picotee.
