572 REPORTS OF THE FLORAL COMMITTEE, 



variety of moderately vigorous Iiabit, the leaves marked with a 

 broad deep-coloured zone; the flowers very large, and of good 

 form, orange-tinted cerise. It was adjudged a Fiest-Class 



Pelargonium, Prince of Hesse :— from Mr. Turner. This 

 variety was Commended. It was shown as a plant of moderate 

 vigour, the leaves marked with a deep-coloured zone, the flowers 

 large and well formed, salmon-pink, paler towards the edge. This 

 was grown as Ingranis Seedlhuj A at Chiswick last summer, and 

 was then found to be a meritorious variety. The young plants 

 now exhibited were somewhat altered in character by indoor 

 culture, but it was thought that it would hereafter be seen in a 

 more perfect condition. The name Priiice Louis of Hesse, 

 employed at p. 445, has since been altered to Pmice of Hesse, 

 by the command of Her Majesty the Queen. 



Variegated Pelargonium, Clara:— from Mr. Turner. A 

 finely marked variety, Commended on this occasion, but thought 

 to promise the development of character which would render it 

 first class hereafter. The disk of the leaf was marbled-green, with 

 a darker zone broken on the outer side, this zone being in the 

 younger leaves orange-coloured; exterior to this was a broad 

 margin of yellowish-green, with a tendency to become golden ; 

 the flowers were large and well formed, deep crimson-scarlet. 



Pelargoniums :— from Mr. Tue 

 grower, with horseshoe-marked foliage, and blush-white flower 

 of tolerable form. Queen of Scarlets, a dwarf compact variety, 

 with small soft hairy dark horseshoe leaves, and numerous trusses 

 of fair-sized bright scarlet flowers, produced all through the 

 winter. It was thought likely to be a useful bedding sort, and 

 was recommended to be sent to Chiswick for trial. Garibaldi, 

 dwarf, with darkly zonate leaves ; the flowers of a bright orange- 

 scarlet and of fine form. This was considered to indicate excellent 

 properties, hut one small plant with a single truss of bloom was 

 not thought sufficient for adjudicating upon.— From Messrs. J. & 

 C. Lee : Lee's Scarlet Nosegay, a sport obtained by Messrs. 

 Li.i': from Imperial Crimson, the leaves zonate, and the flowers 

 crimson-scarlet, broader iu the petals than in the varietv from
