nate leaves, and fair trusses of largv3 thin flowers; but too closely re- 
sembling those of Gloire de Nancy. 
Emile Lemoine. a variety of moderately viiiorous habit, having the 
leaves marked by an indistinct zone, and the llowers of a cream-eolourj 
ragged, but forming dense trusses. An inferior variety. 
Emulation. A vigorous-habited green-leaved sort, with indifferent 
scarlet flowers. 
Firebrand. A coarse-habited green-leaved sort, with carmine-scarlet 
flowers of inferior quality. 
Gloire de Nancy ***. A handsome and moderately vigorous-growing 
variety, still retaining a high position in the double class. It has green 
leaves, and good bold trusses of well-formed, full, double, rosy-carmine 
flowers. This proves to be also a good bedding plant. 
Imperatrice Eugenie**. A variety of remarkably vigorous growth, 
which, in the case of the Chiswick specimen, scarcely proved itself to be 
a free bloomer. The leaves are indistinctly zonate, and the rosy-pink 
flowers are full, and sufficiently good to render the variety deserving of 
further trial. It is reported to have been good in other collections. 
Latona. a vigorous-growing sort, with green leaves; the flowers of a 
light scarlet, in small compact trusses. 
Le Vesuve **• A vigorous-growing variety, of erect habit, with faintly 
zoned leaves, and flue trusses of large well-formed, full, double flowers, 
of a ligiit orange-scarlet colour. A very promising sort. 
Madame Lemoine ***. One of the very best of the varieties in the whole 
collection. It is dwarfish in habit, with faintly zoned leaves, and large, 
full, double, bright, rose-pink flowers, freely produced in good shov.y 
trusses. 
Madame Rose-Charmeux. A dwarf-growing slender variety, of the habit 
of the old Tom Thumb, producing numerous small trusses of loose bright 
scarlet flowers. A bedding variety, in the way of Cottington. 
Marie Lemoine ***. A variety of first-class excellence. It is of dwarf 
stocky habit, with flat faintly zoned leaves, and large-sized flowers, 
forming abundant, bold, and effective trusses. This variety is much like 
Madame Lemoine in the colour and general aspect of its flowers ; but it 
is of dwarfish habit, distinct in its foliage, and producing better 
flowers. 
Martial de Chamfleur. A variety of moderately vigorous habit 
with green leaves, and thin double scarlet flowers ; now quite super- 
seded. 
Mary Elizabeth. A dwarf-growing variety, with faintly zonate leaves 
and rose-pink flowers, paler than, but not equal in merit to, those of 
Madame Lemoine. 
Memnon **. This is a meritorious variety of moderately vigorous 
growth, with faintly zoned leaves ; the trusses are of fair size and com-
