New PIcoress. 
VicrortA Recina (Marris), a splendid heavy-edged rose, good in 
all respects. 
Grace Dartuine (Marris).—It was raised from Lady Alice Peel, 
remarkable for the regularity of its beautiful heavy edge ; petals broad 
and well formed. 
Marris’s Countess Howr.—A very splendid light rose, also raised 
from Lady Alice Peel; petals very broad, white pure. This is the 
variety which will dispute the palm with Mrs. Barnard. 
Marcutess (Slater).—Raised from Nulli Secundii, extremely like 
the parent in point of form and marking ; it is red instead of purple. 
Acuituzs (Marris) is also of the same class as the above, The 
white is particularly good, the edge dark red, and petals first-rate. 
Exizasetu (Robinson).—A heavy-edged bright crimson; white 
pure, the margin well defined, a remarkably brilliant flower. 
Harriet (Moore).—Heavy-edged rose, the guard petals very broad, 
edging well laid on, and the flower clean ; a very promising variety. 
Mary Awne (Robinson),—Delicately edged with crimson, without 
speck or bar, each petal appearing to be surrounded with a dark thread. 
It will bear comparison with Youell’s Gem, and others of the same 
class. 
Yellow Picotees. ® 
Lr Ror.-—Rather a small flower, good pod, pale yellow ground, 
strongly marked with lively red. 
WILLIAM THE Conqureror.—A very full flower, with good petals, 
ground colour yellow, heavily edged with deep purple. The late 
flowers are more clear than the early ones. 
Wiiu1AmM CarLevcH.—The ground colour deep yellow, heavily 
margined with chocolate and crimson; a very attractive sort. 
Tom Prruus.—Rather small, the yellow indistinctly patched with 
white, margined with dark red; though small, rather a coarse flower, 
being somewhat serrated on the edge. 
Cxiotu or Go.tp.—The pod is long, the yellow good, margined very 
neatly with dark red. This is one of the cleanest and most decided in 
character, its drawback is a slight serrature. 
Ducuess or Normanpy.—The yellow pale and undecided, lightly 
edged with purple, distinct. 
‘TRANSCENDENT.— Bright yellow ground petals, margined with light 
scarlet, and slightly serrated ; a very pretty sort. 
Vesuvius.—Pod rather short, petals smooth, the ground colour 
deep yellow, heavily and decidedly edged with scarlet; a beautiful 
variety. — (Midland Florist.)
