MARCH.] GREEN-HOUSEREPOTTING. 77 



tinged with blush; on looking into it, it shows more 

 like a blush vapour than nature, and is a great favour- 

 ite, and deservedly so, with the ladies : flowers and 

 grows freely, foliage rhomboid, elongate, nerves very 

 visible,^surface smooth and pale green, distantly -serrate. 



C.fimbriata. The size, shape, and set of the flower 

 same as alba-plena, and the white as pure, with the 

 edges of the petals deeply serrated, or rather fringed ; 

 is equally as free in flowering and growing. It is uni- 

 versally admired, and in great demand. Its character 

 is unique, foliage very like alba-pleno. [See Frontispiece.] 



C. imbricdta, said to be a very double red, with imbri- 

 cated petals, and very handsome. We have not seen 

 it in flower. .,.. ?f 



C. variagata, is one of the old standard varieties, and 

 very much esteemed. It is striped with red and white ; 

 sometimes the ground is red, with white streaks or 

 blotches, and vice versa. The flower when well grown 

 is large, and very abundant; foliage very fine dark 

 green, similar to single white. We have had seed from 

 it. The petals are regular, with the anthers showing 

 amongst them ; the flower double, though not so much 

 so as many of the others. 



C. crassinervis. We have not the smallest doubt but 

 this is the same as hexangularis, and in confirmation of 

 our opinion, we have lately had the best authority in 

 Europe to that effect. 



C. conchifldra, shell flowered, double, a very hand- 

 some shape, petals round, stiff set, and in the centre 

 quite erect, red with occasional splashes of white.
