MRS, C. C. TUDWAY — I’roducinK enormoof-sizcd flowers and trusses of the best possible 
quality, being of a soft rosy -cerise of a dUtinct and pleasing colour, slightly shaded darker towards 
the centre, throughout the winter season ; a good grower. 3s. (itl. , 
MRS. SIMPSON — Although we have introduced at various times splendid novelties in this 
section, of wliich the Dwhos of Mc^rlhoruugh »ai Ltidy Brooke are well-known examples, we consider 
this a decided advance in the oculated class, not only on account of its beautiful well-formed flowers, 
but also owing to the purity of its whiteness, combintd with a well-defined ring of fiery scarlet-ijink 
and surrounding a largo white eye ; when in full flower it has a very attractive and pleasing 
apjieaaance ; habit good ; a pretty addition. 3.s. fit/. 
W. E. COR DEN — After this variety had been much admired by an enthusiastic hybridiser 
and raiser of Zonals residing at Wakefield, and who is greatly respected by the members of the 
Paxton Societies in the district, wo derided to name it in honopr of the above-named gentleman. 
We believe it to be one of the most perfect Zonal Pelargoniums wo have yet introduced ; of a most 
clear scarlet colour, very vivid distinct white eye, large eirctilar flowers of the most correct shape, 
bold trusses borne in profusion, habit all that can be desired : will certainly take rank as the finest 
of its class. 8s. fit/.

SEEDLING ZONAL PELARGONIUMS. 
During the jtast ten years many p’ants 
have been much improved and become more 
useful in numerous ways, and for several 
seasons it was thought probable some of them 
would entirely su])ersede our very old and 
well-tried friends of our gardens, but time 
and experience have proved otherwise, nature 
seeming to have ordaineditthat certain plants 
should continue to be alike suitable and useful 
in sjtiteof msn's endeavours, and undoubtedly 
the Zonal Pelargonium still continues to be 
without a serious rival for many purposes, 
particularly for bedding and winter flowering. 
So ns to encourage and still further extend 
the usefnlnes.s and improve the beauty of the 
Zonal, and also as an inducement to amateurs 
and others to take up a luost instructive and 
interesting branch of hortiotilture by becoming 
hvbridi/.ets and raisers of new kinds, we are 
w'illing to pay Five Pounds for Oue 
Plant of any new and distinct colours. It 
must be distinctly understood they must he 
a decided advance on existing var.eties, and 
that we possess the entire stock ; also that we 
ag ce to present the raiser with one jilant 
from the first hatch of cut' ings struck from the 
original. 'I’hcre are many lovely varieties 
that can be purcha.'.ed so as to commence

and guaranteed to li ive been iiickcd from oiir 
unrivalled collection of the best kinds from

in saying there is every probability of obtaining a variety wonh the reward offered from cither a
