To test their worth, he is willing to show six of them against 

 any six sent out this autumn, by one person, for JO pnmeas 

 or he will take 10 guineas to five, and allow six to be ^elected 

 from all the Seedlings to be sent out this season. This chal- 

 lenge to stand open until January, 1852. 



W P. A. a so wishes to intimate that, at the Metropolitan 

 exhibition* in June and July, 1S52 (due particulars of which 

 will be announced), he proposes to give for the best six Plants 

 selected fr^m the following list, and gro*n in 6-inch pots, 



TWO SILVER CUPS, VALUE FIVE GUINEAS EACH; 

 the person who obtains the Cup in June not to be eligible to 



compete in July. . 



The Plants marked thus* will not, in consequence of the 



large demand, be ready to send out until April, 1852 ; but all 



orders received previous to that time will be executed in strict 



priority. 



* • Every purchaser of Pelabgoniums to the amount 



(MB guinea will receive gratis a copy of the " Fanuy Pelar? 

 nium • its Origin and Culture " (beautifully illustrated). 

 ▼. P.' ATMS. CM.HS.&c. 



• 1. ADVANCER.— This variety, to adopt the language of a 

 floricultural critic, "is worthy of its name," and may be de- 

 scribed as the finest formed Pelargonium yet raised, the out- 

 Http being perfect U circular, and the petals of great width and 

 good substance. In colour the upper petals are rich purple 

 mulberry, with a slight light margin ; lower petals blush, pen- 

 cilled with purplish crimson, and a distinct white eye. It is a 

 plant of fine haoit and strong constitution, and must become 

 one of the most important show varieties. It obtained a 

 second prize at the Seedling trial Exhibition at the Royal 

 Botanic Soci ty In June, and a Firgt Class Certificate from the 

 .National Floricultural Society the following day. 12. lis. Gd. 



2. ALBOMI SUPERB.— A decided improvement upon 

 Albonii, the colour being richer and better defined, the white 

 purer, the flower superior in form, equally profuse, and the 

 plant constitutionally strong. The upper petals are rich 

 crimson purple, with a well-defined margin of white; lower 

 petals white, faintly pencilled with crimson ; trues lan?e, and 



well above the foliage 10*. fid. 



+ 3. BRUNETTE.— A dwarf distinct plant, with remarkably 

 glossy folijge, and produces flowers in such abundance, as, in 

 the early part of the seanon, and until the plant gets strong, to 

 render It necessary to thin some of the flower trusses out to 

 allow the others to develope themselves. Upper petals, rich 

 brownish chocolate, belted with flesh-colour; lower petals, 

 deep fte* h-colour, veined with rich maroon ; light centre, and 

 a finely formed and cupped flower of considerable substance. 



Truss large, and well abo^e the foliage 10*. €d 



4. CALIBAN. — Thin fine flower is figured in the H Gardeners' 

 Magazine of Botany," vol. ?, p. 137. It is of great substance, 

 and is nearly perfect in form, the flower being very circular 

 and nicely cupped. The upper petals are rich plum colour, 

 with a broad belt of white ; lower petals white, spotted and 

 slightly clouded with rich mulberry. The truss is large, and 

 stands well above the foliage. In habit the plant is strong and 

 robust ; the foliage clean, and the flowers are constant and 

 produced with great freedom. It obtained an equal second 

 prize with " Richard Cobden," at the trial exhibition of seed- 

 lings in the Rojal Botanic Garden, in June, 1851, and a cer- 

 tificate from the National Floricultural Society in the same 



». LhLEbTIAU— This is a plant of remarkably strong 

 habit, and produces in great profusion large trusses of very 

 clean rosy crimson flowers. It is a very late variety, and will 

 be found suitable for late exhibitions. The upper petals are 

 rich rosy crimson, slightly pencilled with pale lilac towards 

 the centre and margined with white, lower petals veined with 

 rosy purple. A flower of good form, great freedom of growth, 



™?* m rt^S?Z£^"± l f * wourit9 H- u - 



..I " C ^? FICL ^-~This.i fl perhaps one of the brightest 



and most distinct varie ies in cu tivatiou, producing with re- 

 markable freedom rich masses of rosy crimson flowers dis- 

 tinctly suffused with purple; the lower petals have a belt of 

 crimson purple, and the whole flower has a broad and distinct 

 margin of cl*ar white. It is a plant of excellent habit and 

 produces flowers with great freedom, the flowers hanging 

 on until quite dried up. For decorative purposes it will be

Habit strong and robust, and produces flowers with great

8. FORMOSISSIMUM.— The leading flower of the season, 

 the same plant having in 1850 and 1851, obtained five first-class 

 prizes, viz. :— in June 1850, a certificate at the Royal Botanic 

 Society, and a certificate at the Royal South London Flori- 

 cultural Society in the same month. In 1851, a first-class 

 certificate at the National Floricultural Society in May; a 

 certificate at the Royal Botanic Society in the same month, and 

 the first prize in its class at the seedling trial exhibition at the 

 Royal Botanic Society in June. It is figured with No. 3 in the 

 " Gardeners* Magazine of Botany," and also in the " Florists' 

 Guide." It is a plant of compact and luxuriant habit, pro- 

 ducing throughout the season a regular succession of very tine 

 flowers. The upper petals are rich crimson suffused with violet, 

 and distinctly and broadly margined with clear white ; lower 

 petals white, belted with rosy crimson. It is a flower of large 

 size, fine substance, and first-rate form, and being very 

 constant, may be depended upon at ail times. Truss large and 

 well above th^ foliage. ... 1£. ll*a 6d. 



9. GIPSEY QUEEN.— Though not quite perfect in form, 

 this is a constant and very showy variety, being in every respect 

 superior to " Hero of Surrey," with clearer colour and larger 

 trusses. The habit is good and strong, the flowers very 

 constant, and are produced in great profusion. Upper petals 

 rich plum colour shaded with mulberry, and light lilac margin ; 

 lower petals white, spotted and pencilled with purple. 

 Obtained the third prize in the same class with " Caliban," at 

 the seedling trial exhibition at the Royal Botanic Society in 

 June, and a certificate at the National Floricultural Society 

 in the snme month. Will be found excellently adapted both 

 for exhibition and home decoration. 12. Is. 



*10. KENTISH BEAUTY. — A brilliant scarlet crimson 

 flower suffused with rich violet ; lower petals delicate flesh 

 colour, spotted with crimson and margined with lilac. This is 

 a rich and very brilliant flower, perhaps the brightest colour 

 yet to be sent out. The habit is good and the flowers are 

 produced in great profusion, but in the early part of the season ; 

 sometimes they do not open freely, especially upon weak 

 plants ; therefore remove the flowers to gain strength, and thin 

 a few trusses out occasionally. It is a flower of good form, and 

 doubtless the most brilliant of its class II. Is. 



11. MIRANDA. — The ground colour of this remarkable 

 variety is delicate rosy salmon, pencilled with lilac, and shaded 

 towards the margin ; lower petals a lit'le lighter, and slightly 

 pencilled. The habit of the plant is good and free; flowers 

 clear above the foliage, fine form, good substance, very con- 

 stant and very distinct. Obtained the second and only prize at 

 the seedling trial exhibition at the Royal Botanic Society in 

 June, beating upwards of a dozen varieties, and received a 

 certificate at the National Floricultural Society in the same 



month 12. Is. 



- »12. PAINTED PET.— A plant worthy of its name, but, 

 like many other pets, rather more delicate in constitution than 

 is desirable. It is figured in the " Gardeners' Magazine of 

 Botany " with Nos. 3 and 7, and is perhaps the prettiest and 

 most distinct flower of any that I have raised. The upper 

 petals are purplish crimson, shaded with violet and margined 

 with white ; lower petals spotted with violet purple, which, 

 late in the season, has quite a blue tinge. The singular satiny 

 texture of this flower gives it a peculiar charm. Flowers of 

 good form and substance, and are very profusely produced, 

 but the habit is slight, and the constitution delicate. As the 

 Btock is limited, early orders only will secure plants ... U. 5*. 



13. SAMBO.— A plant remarkable lor the great profusion 

 with which it produces flowers, from 50 to 60 fully-expanded 

 flowers having several times in the season been counted in a 

 8 pace 9 inches square. The ground-colour is rich purplish 

 crimson, the upper petals being nearly black and of a rich 

 velvety texture. The plant is of good habit and free growth, 

 and will be found an excellent variety for bedding or for the 

 greenhouse stage 7*. 6d. 



%* For every set ordered, a plant of one of the Guinea kinds 

 will be given over. 



\V. P. A. has also much pleasure in intimating that he has 

 a stock of nearly 5000 plants of the leading named Fancy 

 Pelargoniums, all in vigorous health, and that he can supply 

 strong established plants at from 12*. to 100s. per dozen— the 

 selection being left to himself. 



His Descriptive Catalogue of Seedlings, with cultural hints, 

 in now ready, and will be forwarded upon prepaid application.
