THE NEW SUPERB SEEDLING PICOTEE. 



"BURROUGHES'S DUKE OF NEWCASTLE." 

 ^L^OUELL & CO. have much pleasure in announcing 



J- they will send out for the first time the above splendid 

 light-edged purple Picotee, raised bv the Rev. J. Burruughcs 

 It is guaranteed to surpass any Purple Picotee that has yet en 

 raised. Without commenting further upon its superiority 

 Y. and Co. beg to refer to a report in a late No. of the Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, as follows : — 



"The Duke of Newcastle is a flower of flrstrate properties- 

 it is a l'ght-edged purple; the petals are large, and of good forni 

 and substance ; even on the edge; the colour unbroken ; the 

 pod good, and with less disposition to bar than is common." 

 It obtained the first prize, as the best seedling, at the Norfolk 

 and Norwich Horticultural Exhibition. Price 21s. per pair. The 

 stock being limited, to prevent disappointment early orders are 

 respectfully requested. Y. & Co. are also enabled to supply the 

 following superb Picotees, raised by the same gentleman, all 

 possessing first-rate properties, and have been exhibited and 

 obtained first class prizes at several of the metropolitan Exhi- 

 bitions of the present year. They are as follow :— 



Burroughes's Mrs. Benyon, Red Picotee . 7*. 6<7. 



Lady Alice Peel, Rose Picotee . 7 6

 Enchantress, Scarlet Picotee . 5 



CARNATIONS AND PICOTEES. 



Y. and Co.'s collection of this beautiful tribe of flowers will 

 be found the most extensive and select in Europe, comprising 

 every known variety of merit. The plants are remarkably 

 strong and healthy, and ready for sending out to any part of 

 the United Kingdom and the Continent at the following prices:
