 lisson and Son 2d, Mr. Hamp 3d, Mr. Atkins 4th, Mr. Young 5th. 

 Models for flower-gardens, devices, and such like subjects, were freely

 lias, Rachel Rawlings (Keynes), John Keynes (Dodds), Mrs. Raw- 

 lings (Rawlings), Ringleader (Holmes), Ariel (Alexander), Fanny

 noticed a very promising flower named Glory.
