with small zonate moderately lobed leaves and scarlet flowers, ratlicr 
paler than those of Warrior, of moderate size, freely j)roduccd in goo<l 
trusses. It is a useful bedding sort. Received from Messrs. F. and A. 
Smith. 
Witliam Underwood (First-class Certificate). This excellent variety, by 
some accidental oversight, was not contributed to the Chiswick collec- 
tion till last season. It is of good habit, free, with dark-zoned leaves,

Davie. 
There were some other varieties of high promise, as Louis Van'Houtte, 
remarkable for its very broad dark zone ; Rival, a dwarf grower with finely 
sha])ed bright scarlet flowers, better than those of Lord Derby ; and among 
semi-nosegays, Godfrey, a free broad-petaled orange-scarlet.
