a fine dark heavy feathering, and is also flamed, forming a very fine 

 large cup. The bold dark marking and the fine white ground colour 

 form a fine contrast, and make it an attractive flower for an exhibi- 

 tion. 



Perle Blanche. — This flower possesses a fine cup, pure bottom, 

 light feather and flame, and is worthy of a place in any collection. 



Princess Charlotte's Cenotaph. — This variety is a pure white 

 with the exception of a single stripe (up the middle of each petal) of 

 pale purple, and is the only variety in existence marked in this style. 



Roi de Prusse. — This is a pretty little first row flower, fine dark 

 purple feather, and slight flame ; bottom quite clean. 



Roi de Siam. — This is a favourite in the "south, but it is rather 

 coarse as we grow it here. The cup is good and the flaming heavy, 

 but the bottom is rather creamy. 



Triumphe de Lisle. — This is a fine strong flower, dark feather 

 and heavy flame, and worthy of a place in any bed. 



Violet, ma Favorite. — This is a delicate and pretty flower, 

 having a pure bottom, good cup, and pale lilac flame. 



Rubens, has rather a creamy bottom, good cup, feather, and heavy 

 flame.

 notice, being remarkably pure in the bottom, good cup, and feathered 

 and slightly flamed. 



FEATHERED BIZARRES. 



Bernadotte. — This variety possesses a fine pure bottom, good 

 cup, and fine dark brown feathering, and is a pretty first row flower, 

 but the anthers are quite yellow. 



Captain White (Tyso's finest strain).— This is a fine rich bizarre, 

 good yellow, pure bottom, fine cup, and brown feathering, and is a 

 decided favourite when this strain can be got. 



Charles the Tenth. — This is also a fine feathered flower, pure 

 in the bottom, good cup, and feathering heaviest round the top, and 

 finely pencilled downwards. 



Demetrius. — This has long been a favourite flower in Northum- 

 berland, and often wins. The ground colour is a rich yellow, bottom 

 pure, and the feathering a fine dark brown, but the cup is rather 

 narrow.
