Silver-margined. 
Among the older sorts, Albion'' s Cliffs was considered the best 
amongst the larger and stronger-growing varieties ; and Flower of 
Spring the best of the dwarf compact-growing creamy-edged 
sorts. Miss Kingsbury and Silver Chain were also noted as varieties 
of the first order, the former with- cerise- scarlet and the latter with 
rosy-tinted flowers. The following were grown for the first time : — 
Golden BrilUantissima (H. Park) A form of Brilliant, 
of compact growth, with the leaves irregularly edged with yellow 
and creamy-white ; flowers very freely produced, of a brilliant 
orange- scarlet ; remarkable for its mixed gold and silver varie- 
gation. 
Laura (Bland) In the way of Albion^ 8 Cliffs, but more erect ; 
strong grower and rather coarse ; leaves with brownish-red zone 
and cream-coloured margin ; bears large trusses of pale scarlet 
flowers. 
In this group White Lady and Waltham Bride, both dwarf sorts, 
were retained for their white flowers ; while the following were 
discarded : — Alma, Brilliant, 3Iaitre d' Hotel, Mrs. Lenox, Mountain 
of Snow, Pearl, Princess Alexandra, Snowflahe, Variegated Stella. 
Golden-leaved. 
In this section the Committee decided that both Creed's Seedling 
and Crystal Palace Gem retained the high character they had 
already received. The former was subsequently noted as the best 
of the purely golden-leaved sorts. The Crystal Palace Gem is of 
spreading habit, and its golden-tinted leaves have a central green 
patch ; it is in the way of Cloth of Gold, but smoother. 
Bronze Zonals. 
A very useful group for bedding purposes, but amongst the 
varieties of which there is necessarily great similarity. Among the 
good sorts of older date, the Committee specially approved Marechal 
MacMahon and Blade Douglas, and Rev. C. C. Peach was noted as of 
strong and rather coarse habit. The novelties included the 
following : — 
Golden Harry Hieover (E. G. Henderson) Dwarf spreading
