Mr. Anthony Waterer, of the Knap Hill Nursery, 

 near Woking, Surrey, England, has been very suc- 

 cessful in raising seedling Azaleas, and within the 

 past few years has produced some varieties which 

 are far superior to any before raised. This has 

 been accomplished by crossing the best hardy kinds 

 with Azalea sinensis, a Chinese species, with large, 

 golden, Rhododendron-like flowers. 



These new varieties are thus described in Mr. 

 Waterer's catalogue of the present year : — 



Am<ena Delicate rose, with rich buff 



spot. 



Bessie Holdaway . Bright rose, clear bronze spot. 



CuPEEA Coppery - orange, shaded with 



salmon. 



Fdlgida Bright fiery-orange, deeper in 



the centre. 



Nancy Waterer . . The finest of all the yellows, 



rich and deep in color ; large 

 in size and perfect in form. 



OcHROLEUCA .... Pale straw - color, with golden 



spot. 



Primulina. .... Delicate primrose-yellow. 



PoLCHRA Shaded rose, with orange blotch. 



Sinensis rosea . . . Pale, shaded rose. 



Steaminea .... An extremely delicate tint of 



straw-color. 



Sulphurea .... Sulphur-yellow, with deep yel- 

 low blotch.
