year introduced to those florists who are more fortunately situ- 

 ated. I rely upon the pages and illustrations of your valuable 

 publication for information upon the subject, and more particu- 

 larly for guidance in the choice of Pelargoniums, with which, to 

 enrich my collection ; it was with the utmost satifaction I perused 

 the list given of them in the twenty-eighth number of the Flori-

 of a Lady. It would confer a favour upon me Sir, and to my 

 knowledge, also upon several others who take your work regu- 

 larly, if you, or the same obliging person who sent the select list, 

 would give one of the most choice Pelargoniums raised, or in the 

 hands of the trade since June, 1835, to comprize names of the 

 plants, by whom they were raised, where, and at what price they 

 are to be bought in April next, with such description of the 

 colours, &c. of the flowers, as will prevent mistakes, where, as in 

 the case with Pelargonium called " Queen Adelaide.'' 1 three flow- 

 ers are known by the same name. If you could ajso give a print 

 of three or more Geraniums, grouped in the same way in which 

 the Chinese Chrysanthemums are so prettily shewn in number 

 thirty-five of the Florieultural Cabinet, you would confer an 

 obligation upon me, and many others who I have no doubt would 

 be equally willing to pay double price for a number so illustrated. 

 Trusting you will take my request into your consideration, and 

 grant them as speedily as your arrangements permit.

 This, perhaps, is the best of the many this successful grower has 

 been the fortunate raiser of. For shape it commands the same 

 place among Carnations as Springfield Rival in Dahlias. Nature 

 requiring but little assistance from the most skillful dresser to set 

 it off. The colour is also very good, the pink and white being very 

 regularly and nearly equally divided. It has at length found a 

 place in Hogg's Catalogue, and from thence will, I have no doubt 

 into most collections.
