• REMARKS. 



On Superior Pinks. — The article in the March Number of the Cabinet, under 

 the name of Innovator, being wrote in the full spirit of ridicule, it is not my inten 

 tion to trouble the reader with much in reply, more particularly as the writer is 

 a Sculkcr ; one part, I must confess, is really amusing, viz. he having introduced 

 in his ridiculous Article, Bows C'ato. This Pink was not named by me to Mr. 

 Smith, and is, I believe, one of the smallest Lancashire Pinks, yet this Mr. Inno- 

 vator, has selected this against his one in the Ring (this is most beautiful.) 

 Let me recommend my brother florists to grow such Pinks as I have named 

 that is, if they wish to possess what is called Florists' 1 Flowers ; if on the other 

 hand, they want Pinks without form, bursting pods — the centre full of small 

 leaves, the laceing bad, the colour also bad, they may then apply to Mr. Innova- 

 tor with the needful, and I have no doubt he will find them. I shall be most 

 happy to correspond with any brother florist, on the good or bad properties of a 

 pink, and where they are to be had. But must request to have their name and 

 place of abode, none else shall be noticed by me, for such bush-fiqhtinn, as ap- 

 peared in Innovator's remarks, is to say the least unmanly. T. Connelly.
