Rosea. "Pink Canterbury Bell." One of 



the most beautiful floral sights we ever saw. was a 

 large bed of this peerless variety, its brilliant pink 

 bells rendering the plant a striking object hundreds 

 of feet away. The class C. Media Calycanthema, 

 to which this variety belongs, is a new form of the 

 old Canterbury Bells (distinguished by the calyx 

 forming a cup around the base of the bell or corol- 

 la*. Of this form we already have a blue and white 

 variety, now largely grown, and we are sure that 

 this Pink Canterbury Bell, if it may be so called, 

 being so much more beautiful, will come into even 



greater demand. (See Cut.) i.">
