56 DESCRirTIVF CATALOGUE of carnations. 



ground, striped and blotched with white, a very neat habit, and free 



bloomer; ought to be in every collection. 



Prattii is a very large and full light rose, is a superior variety and 

 very distinct. 



Ochroleuca is a splendid white, with buff centre ; is large and well 

 formed, and distinct from any other. 



Sweetii is perhaps the best carnation-striped we yet possess, being 

 less confused in the centre than this class generally are. 



Triumphans is a large rose ; its fault is a confused centre, but a 

 desirable variety. 



Corallina is perhaps the deepest red we have, its large well-formed 

 petals render it a favourite ; it is, however, rather thin of petals.
