EDMONDS'S JENNY LIND PICOTEE. 



THIS very beautiful Picotee was raised by George Edmonds, Esq., 

 of Brooklands, Wandsworth-road, London, by whom it was ex- 

 liibited at tiie recent floral shows held at the Horticultural Society's 

 grounds, Chiswick ; the Botanic Garden, Eegent's Park ; the Royal 

 South London, Slough, &c., and where, by all lovers of this esteemed 

 class of flov/ers who saw it, it was universally admired, and pronounced 

 to be of tlie very finest quality. The white is not quite as pure as in 

 some other kinds, but the form is excellent, petals free from notcii, 

 edging more true tlian any other we ever saw, not a single spot upon 

 tlie ground, but entirely pure. It well merits a place in every 

 collection. 



We had the pleasure of attending the exhibitions above named, and 

 we never saw Carnations and Picotees shown to greater advantage ; 

 the flowers were in a state of perfection and vigour far beyond any 

 precedent, and a corresponding interest was excited in the visitors. 

 We inspected tliem very minutely, in order to obtain a select list of 

 the best, and tlie following are the Picotees we can confidently recom- 

 mend to our readers as being of first-rate merit, viz., Edmonds's Jenny 

 Lind, Echnonds's Victoria Pegina, Edmonds's Earnest, Burronghes's 

 ^Irs. Bevan, Burronghes's Amy, Barnard's Mrs. Barnard, Green's
