reddish flush; the eye yellow, with a bilobed dark spot in front. 
Good and lasting. 
Bedfont Yellow (Dean).— A free-growing, compact-habited 
sort. Flowers large, bright golden yellow, with pencilled eye. Good 
and effective. 
Blue Bell (Dean).—A very showy variety, of compact, spreading, 
free-blooming habit. Flowers numerous, medium-sized, mauve- 
purple, with a small yellow eye, pencilled with dark lines. The indi- 
vidual flowers are deficient in shape, but the effect of the mass is 
good, and the plant is a continuous bloomer. Awarded a first-class 
certificate in 1874, which was now confirmed. 
Blue Perfection (Westland).—Of compact, free-blooming habit. 
Flowers medium-sized, of a deep reddish mauve, with yelloweye. A 
fine, effective, self-coloured variety. The variety sent in as Purple 
Perfection proved to be the same as this. 
Dr. Stuart (Stuart)—Of dwarf, compact habit. Flowers mauve- 
purple, with small yellow eye surrounded by a narrow dark ring. A 
neat and pretty flower. 
Golden Gem (Dickson & Co.).—A variety of dwarf spreading 
habit and a free bloomer. Flowers large, deep yellow, with deeper 
eye, over which occur dark pencillings. Good and lasting. Awarded 
a first-class certificate in 1874. 
Lilacina (Dean).—A charming variety of dwarf, compact, spread- 
ing habit, free-growing, and very distinct. Flowers of moderate 
size, the upper petals of a reddish lilac, the lower ones bluish lilac, 
with small yellow eye. An exceedingly pretty and taking flower. 
Lothair (Dean). —A novel variety, with a dwarf, compact habit 
of growth. Flowers large, deep purple, with small yellow eye, and 
broadish bronzy spot just below it on the lower petal. A distinet 
and rich-looking flower, of lasting quality. 
Lily-white Tom Thumb (Dean).—A very useful variety of free, 
compact, spreading habit. Flowers white, with yellow eye and dark 
pencillings. The flowers are tolerably constant as to purity, but 
they occasionally blotch in hot weather. The first-class certificate 
awarded in 1874 was confirmed. 
Magpie or La Pie (Dean).—An old French variety, still useful 
because striking in appearance from the strongly-contrasted colour- 
ing of its flowers. It is of vigorous but rather tall-growing habit, 
of a hardy constitution, and an abundant bloomer. Flowers blackish 
mulberry, with a large, wedge-shaped spot of white at the tip of each 
petal ; the spotting sometimes runs out, when for a time the flowers 
become self-coloured. 
Mulberry (Dean).— A dwarf-growing variety; of compact but 
spreading habit, and free-flowering. Flowers dark reddish plum- 
purple, with very small yellow eye; the flowers are well displayed. 
The first-class certificate of 1874 was confirmed. 
Novelty (Cocker & Son).—A showy variety, of free-growing 
habit, but growing rather tall. Flowers reddish or pucy purple,
