very line flower, carmine red flamed with crimson ; Rosa 
Bonheur, white very lightly tinted with lilac, (the top petal 
has a curious way of doubling itself back, which somewhat 
detracts from the beauty of the plant) and those figured in our 
plate — Orp/tee (fig. 1), a very long spike of fine expanded flowers, 
the ground colour white, with bright rose carmine flakes, and 
on the lower petals fine purple carmine spots ; and Horace 
(fig. 2), a large and well opened flower, fiery red with large 
white spots. Many of these flowers are great improvements on 
those of preceding years, especially in the number of flowers 
that open at one time on the spike, adding greatly to their 
beauty. Among the most remarkable flowers exhibited this 
season have been those of Messrs. Kelway and Son of Lang- 
port, and Messrs. Stuart and Mein of Kelso.
