Golden Dwarf. Ochroleuca. 
Gold and Bronze Zonals. — The following varieties were awarded Cer- 
tificates : — 
Rev. W. F. Radclyffe (First-class Certificate). This variety is valuable for 
its free yet compact habit of growth, and for the endurance of the co- 
lours of its leaves, which are of a bright yellow-green, marked with a 
narrow vandyked zone of clear chestnut-red. This sort has now 
been pretty well tested. Received from Messrs. Windebank and 
Kingsbury. 
The Moor (First-class Certificate). This variety, in the early part of the sea- 
son, w^as very fine, but the colours run out at a later period. In its 
best state it was very eff'ective, the colour being a bright yellows-green 
with a clear dark chestnut zone. The leaves are somewhat lobed, which 
is perhaps its chief fault. Received from,Messrs. F. and A. Smith. 
Plutus (First-class Certificate). A good deal resembling The Moor, but the 
ground-colour is greener ; the zone is bright and telling. Received 
from Messrs. F. and A. Smith.
