255 



Crimson Bizarres. 



Count Paulina (Holmes's) 

 William IV. (Wood's) 



These flowers are very much alike 

 in the distribution of the colour ; 

 but the former is the larger flower, 

 and a far better grower than the 

 latter. 



Paul Pry — Brilliant in colour. 



King Alfred (Gregory's) — A constant good flower. 



) These are fine large flowers, but too much 

 alike to show in a stand of 12. The 

 Rainbow (Cartwright's)) latter is apt to become faint in colour 



by the time it is fully blown. 

 Earl Grey (Young's), or Virginius (Firth's) — Large and good. 

 Lord Milton (Eley's) \ These are well formed flowers, not 

 Duke of Bedford „ > large, but clean, and well struck 



Duchess of Kent (Brown's)) with colour. 



I A large flower, but not quite so 

 clear in the white when I saw 

 it as I could wish. 

 Lord Brougham (Greasley's) — Fine form, good colour. 



Scarlet Flakes. 



Lydia (Addenbrook's) 



Lady Hill (Pugh's) 



Rob Roy (Orson's) 



Bishop of Gloucester (Brown's) 



William IV. (Wilson's) 



Madame Mara (Pearson's) 



Madame Vestris (Hepwoith's) 



These are all of fine colour, regu 

 V larly striped, and of a pure 

 white ground. 



Beauty of Cradley (Wallis's) 

 Marcpiis of Granby (Simpson's) 



Earl of Leicester (Wigg's) 



I These flowers are finely marked, 

 but require bleaching, as they 

 come out rather flushed. 

 A full, large flower, not so strongly 

 marked as the former. 



Mary Anne (Finmore's) — Good in every point, but is sportive. 

 Champion (Martin's) — A fine flower in every point.
