Appended are the names of a few varieties of Mal-

 Barnet, intending cultivators may be assured are the cream 

 of the section. The three original forms of Souvenir de 

 la Malmaison must, of course, be included. Baldwin, 

 dark pink, large ; King Oscar, crimson ; Lord Welby ; 

 Mercia, salmon ; Mrs. Martin Smith, rosy-pink, enor- 

 mous blooms ; Mrs. Torrens, large salmon-pink ; Mrs. 

 Trelawney, dark salmon ; Thora, fine white ; Sault, 

 light ; Lady Ulrica, deep rose. In addition note may 

 be made of the Queen, which approaches the apricot 

 tint of Mrs. R. Hole, and Duchess of Westminster, 

 an early flowering kind, of great beauty, with true 

 Malmaison foliage, and which may prove exceedingly 

 useful for winter flowering.
