Sir Richard Wallace, which had zoned leaves and was of medium 
growth, had large bright rose-pink flowers with a white base to 
the upper petals. This was the brightest of the rose colours. 
Scarlet, Rosy-Scarlet, Sfc. 
Ama Pfitzer ^^-'^ (E. G. Henderson & Son). An orange-scarlet 
nosegay of vigorous spreading habit ; the leaves bold, uudu- 
lated, and faintly green-zoned. The flowers come in long- 
stalked, large trusses, and are of the nosegay class, but well- 
formed, and of a bright orange-scarlet. It is a very fine and 
attractive variety, the trusses having rather a spreading ten- 
dency. 
Bonfire (E. G. Henderson & Son). A very striking variety 
of moderately compact habit, with dark-zoned leaves, and very 
fine flowers on moderately large trusses. The flowers are of the 
semi-nosegay clas3, of fine shape, and of a bright rich scarlet, 
which is most effective in the flower garden. 
Claude ds lu Meurthe (E. Gr. Henderson & Son). A variety 
of striking colour and of moderately vigorous habit, the leaves 
wavy and deeply lobed, rather pale green, and faintly zoned. 
The flowers come in moderate trusses, the colour being a rich 
carmine-rose with a distinct flush of deep rose, or a bright 
amaranth rose — one very difficult to designate. The award was 
made chiefly on account of the effective colour. 
Col. Holden ^'^^ (Pearson). A fine variety of vigorous but 
spreading habit, furnished with wavy slightly-zoned leaves. The 
flowers are in large compact trusses, of a deep carmine-crimson, 
and very showy and effective. 
Prince Arthur *** (Eraser). This belongs to the marbled- 
leaved, or what is sometimes called the coral-stemmed section 
represented by Sheen Rival. It is of moderately vigorous 
had the certificate confirmed.
