1932. To these may be added two splendid varieties raised by my talented 

 friend Mr. Greene, of Culford, as soon as they are cheap enough to be 

 brought within the grasp of the million. Pinset and Mrs. Pollock are two 

 magnificent varieties, of free, robust habit. The green leaf-disks are over- 

 laid by a beautiful bronze-red zone, splashed or belted with bright-red 

 crimson, and margined with rich golden yellow. They are magnificent 

 varieties, similar in habit and charactei*, and are now being sent out from the 

 large house in the Wellington Road, at 7^. 6d. and 3l5. 6d. respectively. 

 There are about a dozen varieties of the Diadematum, half a dozen of the 

 Unique class, and several other sweet-scented vai'ieties ; one of the easiest 

 •managed of which is Shrubland Pet, that are extensively used for bedding in 

 some gardens. But as they require special treatment, and more labour and 

 cai'e than most of my readers can give, I will pass them over at present. 

 New varieties, or old varieties with new names, are also constantly coming 

 up; and any or all of them maybe grown instead of the improved Frogmoro
