 we so often find the same flower under different 

 names, of whieh I could point out instances not a 

 few. Thus we have two Rainbows, as two may some- 

 times be seen in the heavens at the same time ; but 

 then the one is only the faint shadow and reflection 

 of the other. So we have two James's Lord Craven, 

 two Castle's Mrs. Harrington, two Sharpe's Defi- 

 ance, two or three Weltje's Pellew, two or three 

 Young's Mount ./Etna, &c. &c. 



But, what is worse than all, it is also said that he 

 will sometimes not hesitate to sell and deliver a run 

 flower, instead of one in colour, knowing it to be so. 

 Such unfair practices as these must, however, in the 

 end, defeat themselves ; and let us hope that they 

 are confined but to a few, and do not apply to the 

 body of florists in general.
