.centre, petals narrow; flat in the face, occasionally may be found 
useful. 
Reera (Bragg).—Said to be a seedling of last year, but to come 
out in spring ; red, with white tips, clear colours ; useful looking flower, 
an improvement on Hermione. 
Miss Bracxmore (Dodd).—White, with purple-crimson edges, 
middle size, symmetrical, good outline, a little thin. 
Miss Stevens (Dodd). — White, with pale salmon-red edges, medium 
size, compact form, and good outline. 
Rarnpow (Keynes).—Orange-red and white, colours well defined, 
and the flowers in this respect very striking, but every petal, in the 
blooms we saw, had a small indentation at the end, which, if its natural 
character, however superior it may be in other respects, is an undoubted 
disqualification. 
SunBeam (Keynes).—Bright red, with a small white tip, rather 
under the average size, full and neatly arranged, but the petals are 
very narrow and reflect a good deal. 
Queen or THE May (Harrison).—A pretty lilac tipped with white, 
quite novel and distinct amongst the fancies, good centre, and sym- 
metrical form. 
Miss Jane (Howard).—Crimson purple, with white tip, good centre, 
and fairish outline; a useful flower. 
Mrs. Sranxey (Mitchell).—Crimson, tipped with white, full size, 
double, and well arranged ; occasionally quills a good deal. 
Queen DowaceEr (Gaines).—Bright brimstone, with clear white 
tip, very pretty as a border flower, but too thin for show. 
PINKS. 
Narsoroucu Buck (Maclean)—A very large flower, a rich dark 
colour, with a pure white ground, excellent shape. 
Wincuester Rivat (White).—A middle sized flower, a rich 
bright red, with a pure white ground, very good form. 
Mrs. Epwarps (Keynes) —A middle sized flower, of a beautiful 
rose, with a pure ground, good form. 
HarkrorwarpD (Smith).—A middle sized flower, a rich purple, 
with a pure white ground. It is a striking variety, of good form. 
CARNATION. 
J. Suarr, Esq. (Holliday).—A middle sized flower, crimson bizarre, 
petals round, and form excellent. 
PICOTEE. 
Dericata (Holliday).—A light-edged purple, colour very distinct, 
round petal, fine formed, of first-rate excellence.
