220 THE GARDENER. [May 



The leaves are indistinctly zonate, and the rosy-pink flowers are full, and suffi- 

 ciently good to render the variety deserving of further trial. It is reported to 

 have been good in other collections. 



LaUma. — A vigorous-growing sort, with green leaves; the flowers of a light 

 scarlet, in small compact trusses. 



Le Visuve**. — A vigorous-growing variety, of erect habit, with faintly-zoned 

 leaves and fine trusses of large, well-formed, full, double flowers, of alight orange- 

 scarlet colour. A very promising sort. 



Madame Lemoine ***. — One of the very best of the varieties in the whole collec- 

 tion. It is dwarfish in habit, with faintly-zoned leaves, and large, full, double, 

 bright, rose-pink flowers, freely produced in good showy trusses. 



Madame Rose-Charmeitx. — A dwarf-growing slender variety, of the habit of the 

 old Tom Thumb, producing numerous small trusses of loose bright scarlet flowers. 

 A bedding variety in the way of Cottington. 



Marie Lemoine ***. — A variety of first-class excellence. It is of dwarf stocky 

 habit, with flat faintly-zoned leaves and large-sized flowers, forming abundant, 

 bold, and effective trusses. This variety is much like Madame Lemoine in the 

 colour and general aspect of its flowers; but it is of dwarfish habit, distinct in 

 its foliage, and producing better flowers. 



Martial de Charnfleitr. — A variety of moderately vigorous habit with green 

 leaves and thin double scarlet flowers ; now quite superseded. 



Mary Elizabeth. — A dwarf -growing variety, with faintly zonate leaves and rose- 

 pink flowers, paler than, but not equal in merit to, those of Madame Lemoine. 



Memnon **. — This is a meritorious variety of moderately vigorous growth, with 

 faintly zoned leaves ; the trusses are of fair size and compact, consisting of close 

 well-formed light scarlet flowers. Distinct and promising. 



Monsieur E. G. Henderson. — A dwarf-habited variety ; the leaves with an in- 

 distinct zone ; the truss good, bearing large flowers, but too near in colour to 

 Gloire de Nancy. 



National. — Vigorous in growth, with faintly zonate leaves and good double 

 flowers in close trusses, but in colour too much resembling those of Gloire de 

 Nancy. 



Navarino. — Of [dwarf habit, with indistinctly zonate foliage ; the trusses 

 apparently small, and the flowers rosy carmine, rough. A very inferior form 

 of Gloire de Nancy. 



Review. — A rather vigorous and straggling growing sort, with the leaves green, 

 and the flowers of a light scarlet colour, growing in small trusses. 



Rosetta. — Of vigorous growth, with green leaves and small trusses of scarlet 

 flowers, which are rather deeper tinted than in other scarlet-flowered varieties ; 

 but they are too narrow-petaled and ragged. 



Signet' 1 '*. — A rather desirable variety, of moderately vigorous growth, with 

 the leaves densely zonate, the trusses well filled, and the colour a rosy carmine, 

 in the way of Emile Lemoine ; but the individual flowers are of better form. 



Sparkhill Beauty**. — This variety is of moderately vigorous growth, with 

 faintly-zoned leaves and close trusses of bright rose-pink flowers, very much re- 

 sembling those of Madame Lemoine ; superior to that sort as regards smoothness 

 of petal ; but, taking other points into consideration, the preference must be 

 given to Madame Lemoine. 



Splendour. — A coarse-habited tall-growing sort, with green leaves, and scarlet 

 flowers in loose trusses. 



Sunshine. — Of vigorous growth, with the leaves green, the flowers deep rose- 

 coloured.
