C. amabile. This exceedingly perfect flower was raised 

 from seed by J. B. Smith, Esq., of this city ; it is regu- 

 larly imbricated, the extreme petals are bright rose, 

 shading to delicate pink, and then again shading in the 

 centre to light red. The plant is full of foliage and of ex- 

 cellent habit, flower about three and a half inches in diame-

C. atrorubens, Loddiges' red, is a good variety; colour 

 dark red, outside petals large, inside small and irregular, 

 forming a very distinct character; foliage stiff'; grows freely 

 and flowers well ; and of long duration. We have seen a
