The greatest novelty of the season, and the most beautiful varioty ever offered. It differs from

grandeur and regularity of its flowers, which have a diameter of 2 to 3 inches, are very double and 
extremely beautiful, every petal being most exquisitely fringed or toothed, and overlapping each 
other with the utmost procision. The colours embrace all the various tints of lilac, crimson, purple, 
and maroon ; these colours are reudered more effective by the fringed odges of the petals being 
pure white and blush, which tends to brighten the whole appearance of the flowers, and charac- 
terise it truly in its name, “ Diadem Pink.” Price 2s. Gd. per packet.
