 toothed, the flowers large, greenisli-white. The plants were 

 taller and looser than those of candidissima, and the flowers 

 much less pure in colour. 



Collinsia bicolor atroruhens . . Carter & Co. 



This, which is said to be a deeper-coloured variety of G. bicolor, 

 did not prove at all different in colour from well-grown samples 

 of the species, with which it was compared. 



I Paekeb & Co. 

 ( Turner. 



A tirst-class white annual, of showy character and good habit. 

 The stems were 1 foot high, sparingly pubescent, compactly 

 branched from the base ; the leaves ovate-lanceolate or oblong- 

 lanceolate, obscurely toothed; the flowers of large size, pure 

 white. The plants were dwarfer and more compact than in 

 C. bicolor alba, and the flowers of a much purer white. 



Collinsia multicolor marmorata . Turner. 



Syn : 0. bicolor marmorata nova . . Carter & Co. 

 A pale variety of G. multicolor, which is itself perhaps only a 

 form of C. bicolor. The variety was too dull and indistinct in 

 colour to be effective, and very much inferior in this respect to 

 multicolor, which is a handsome plant. 



Cosmidixun Burridgeannm .... Turner. 

 A very handsome Coreopsis-like plant, growing about 2 feet high, 

 of branched habit, the leaves pinnatisected, with long filiform or 

 subulate leaflets. The flowers were on long stalks, deep orange- 

 yellow, with a broad dark maroon-crimson spot at the base of the 

 florets, which were trancately obovate, much broader than in the 

 well-known Galliopsis bicolor. The flower buds were 8-furrowed, 

 not smooth as in Galliopsis. 



DelpMninm eonsoUda tricolor elegans . Carter & Co. 

 A tall form of branching Larkspur, producing single and double 

 flowers of richly varied colours, many of them elegantly striped. 

 These latter, which were very handsome, were of various shades 

 of rosy-pmk, striped with blue. Others were of a rich purple. 



Dianthus atrorubeus .... Carter & Co. 

 A very handsome and brilliant mule Pink, having dark stems,
