better varieties. 



91. I^onie. 



From Messrs, Eollisson. A very free-growing sort, of moderate 

 vigour ; leaves darkly zonate ; flowers iu fine trusses, deep ^osy 

 red, with a more pinky tinge than in the other cerise sorts. It 

 is a very fine distinct first-class variety, somewhat similar to 

 Comte de Morny, but of more vigorous habit, and of a different 

 hue. One of the better sorts for pot-culture. 



99. Mens. Martin. 



From Messrs. Eollisson, Mr* Tubnek, and Messrs. Fbaser* 

 Vigorous habit ; leaves darkly zonate ; flowers large, well-formed* 

 •circular, very efiective, in bold trusses, of a scarlet-tinted rose- 

 colour. On^ of the very finest in cultivation; and an excellent 

 pot-plant.

 zonate ; flowers finely-shaped, in large open proliferous trusses, 

 reddish-rose. One of the best sorts known. Excellent as a pot- 

 plant.

 but rather unhealthy ; flowers rosy red, of the colour of those of 

 Covite de Morny, but usually in larger trusses. It was, however, 

 considered to be beaten by that variety. As a pot-plant it was 

 one of the more eSective sorts, 



95. Talma. 



From Messrs. RolLtsson. Moderately vigorous ; leaves darkly 

 zonate ; flowers well-formed, in moderate-sized trusses, rosy- 

 scarlet, of the colour of those of Lady Middlelon^ It was con-

 with a slightly marked zone ; flowers in large long-stalked trusses, 

 light rose or cerise red. An inferior coai^e variety*
