THE METROPOLITAN FLORAL EXHIBITIONS. 249 



of small size, well up in the centre, and good outline, but deficient in 

 arrangement. 



Lady of the Lake. — Mr. Keynes. White, with a bright purple 

 lace; of large size, and may do for a back row, but hardly full 

 enough, and the outline is not good. 



Louis Philippe. — Mr. Turner. Deep crimson, good size, com- 

 pactly made, fairish outline, and well up. Some of the petals in- 

 clined to notch, still it is a flower that may be had recourse to if 

 required. 



Master Edward Clayton. — Mr. Bragg. A fancy bind ; white, 

 with dark edges, uneven, irregular, and bad. 



Master George Clayton. — Mr. Bragg. This is another fancy 

 flower, of rather better quality ; in colour white, edged with crimson-

Matchless.^ — Mr. Whale, of Elcot. Delicate blush, large size, 

 tolerably well up, and good outline. We doubt, however, its being an 

 improvement on Marchioness of Cornwallis. 



Metropolitan Queen. — The grower not stated. Blush, laced with 

 purple, large, and very thin. 



Middlesex Canary. — No grower named. Light yellow, medium 

 size, and rather compact. The outer petals, however, reflex, and the 

 outline is broken. 



Miss Vyse. — Mr. Turner. White , laced with purple, of good 

 size, but thin, and the outline imperfect. A first-class certificate was 

 awarded, but from what we could see of it, it was certainly only 

 second-rate. 



3Iodel of Perfection- Mr. Spary, Hungerford. Bright red, re- 

 markably compact and neat, but so very small we fear it will seldom 

 be got showable. 



Mrs. Edivards. — Mr. Bragg. In colour, a kind of salmon- 

 crimson, with sulphur veins ; in quality, only second-rate. 



Princess Helena. — Mr. Gaines, Battersea. White, the petals ver 

 firm, compact, and good in shape, but of small size and inclined to 

 be ribhed. 



Queen of Violets. — Mr. Keynes. Rich in colour, well up in the 

 centre, and of considerable depth, but of only indifferent arrange- 

 ment. 



Rising Sun. — Grower not stated. Light red, very compact, re-
