128 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Class XIII. 



New, recently introduced, or little known varieties of 



merit. 



The exhibits in this Class were not so striking or meritorious 

 as might have been expected, and many that should have been 

 entered as New, &c., were to be found among the Miscellaneous, 

 and could not, therefore, be so readily compared. The descriptions 

 of the greater number of these will be found in the " General 

 Descriptive Catalogue," p. 295.

 sort ; Belle Pontoise ; Wealthy, a new highly coloured American
