property. Nabob is also a beautiful flower, and makes a fine contrast with the 
other. The stripes in this one are not united into a spot ; but they pass quite

cross of the Ladi/ Peel with Nabob would form a beautiful flower. Florists' 
Magazine, No. 3.

Pinks, called princess victoria, and sir walter scott. Both these 
choice new varieties may be obtained of the growers, or of Mr. Woodman, 25, 
Manor Place, Walworth. They were ready for delivery last October. Princess 
Victoria was raised by Mr. John Dalton, of Mitcham, and was judged worthy 
of the first prize for seedling pinks, at the East Surrey Floral and Horticultural 
Society's second show for the present year, which took place in the Town Hall 
of Croydon on the 21st of June. This is a beautifully formed flower, and well 
worthy a place in every collection. Sir Walter Scott was raised by William 
Stockwell, of Walworth Common. It is a fine variety, flowering freely, and 
attaining a large size. The lacings on the outer petals reach the external edge, 
but as they approach the centre they are bordered with white. Flor. Mag,, No. 3.
