BRIEF REMARKS. 253 



Scarlet Flakes were represented by Ciadley Pet, Simpson's Queen, 

 Puxley's Standard, and Africanus. Of Rose Flakes, Puxley's Princess 

 Royal, Flora's Garland, May's Ariel, Poor Tom, Lorenzo, Antonia, 

 and Wood's Haidee were the best. — Picolees : These advance towards 

 perfection much faster than Carnations do. Foremost in the heavy 

 red-edged class was Mrs. Norman, a full-sized variety, of first-rate pro- 

 perties, fully maintaining the opinion given of it last season ; Prince of 

 Wales, King James, Hogarth, and two of Mr. Fellowes's seedlings were 

 good ; also an intermediate variety, between red and rose. Costar'a 

 Christabel is a neat pleasing flower, of good properties, without the 

 slightest bar. Light red: Youell's Gem, Duchess of Sutherland, Miss 

 Holbeck, and Dodwell's Mary ; the latter is good in size, and very 

 evenly marked. Heavy purple : Dodwell's Alfred, Lord Nelson, 

 Portia, Lady H. Moore, Prince Arthur, Viola, and Duke of Rutland, 

 the latter a fine constant flower, were in the best possible order. In 

 light-edged purple, Matthew's seedling was the best; it is a superb 

 flower. In this numerous class the following were good : Ophelia, 

 Ganymede, Willoughby, Circe, Jupiter, Juliet, and Fellowes's seed- 

 ling '51. Heavy rose and scarlet, the most attractive class of all, was 

 represented by Venus, Green's Queen, Princess Royal, Marris's Victoria 

 Pegina, a bright fine flower, and Marris's Grace Darling, a flower 

 similar to Princess Royal, but wider in the petal ; Unexpected is a 

 medium-sized neat variety ; and Jeannette has a fine petal, but is rather 

 thin. Light-ed^ed rose : Mrs. Barnard, as usual, stood at the head of 

 this class ; and Countess Howe is a pleasing bright variety. — The meet- 

 ing for 1852 will be held, we believe, at Norwich.
