VARIETY AND DESCRIPTION. 
Mathiola annua intermedia. A. presumed cross between Ten- week and Brompton, 
much valued by Market Gardeners, who appear to have attained a fascinating 
success with them, possibly from their possession of plenty of frames, old 
muck, and lime rubbish, in which this class delights. We take care to 
ensure best quality in the vars. we offer ; colour and habit unexceptionable
