24. Fraser's Broad-leaved (Minier) (Yeitch). See Broad-leaved 
Winter, No. 23. 
25. Green Batavian (Carter). Leaves very long, narrow; form¬ 
ing small hearts. Worthless. 
26. Bound-leaved (Carter) (Minier) (Yeitch). Leaves from 10 to 
12 inches long, broad, light green, toothed and wavy in 
outline, the outer lying flat on the soil, the inner incurving 
from the points and thus forming a close heart, which 
blanches naturally to some extent. When tied up, a close, 
fir m heart is formed, as white as ivory and of excellent 
quality. This is by far the best Batavian Endive. 
27. White Batavian (Carter) (Minier) (Yeitch). Leaves long, 
resting flat on the ground ; of a pale green colour. Forms- 
small hearts, which require tying up. Yery apt to decay in 
moist weather. Worthless. 
XXIII. —Report on Double Flowered Ivy-leaved Pelargoniums 
Grown for Trial at the Society’s Gardens, Chiswick, 1878. 
By A. F. Barron. 
The introduction of M. Liehmann’s double-flowered form of the 
Ivy-leaved Pelargonium, “ Konig Albert," some few years ago, was 
a pleasant surprize, being the commencement of a new class of 
highly ornamental plants which are exceedingly suitable for the 
decoration of the Conservatory and also for cut flowers. The 
elegant and chaste forms of the single-flowered varieties of the 
Ivy-leaved Pelargoniums bear no comparison in point of 
appearance with the new double-flowered varieties for which we 
are mostly indebted to that very skilful hybridist M. Lemoine, 
of Nancy. 
These new double-flowered varieties all belong to the true 
peltatum or trailing species, and are of various shades of colour, 
from almost pure white to dark lilac. 
*** denote First-class Certificates. 
A. F. Barron*** (Lemoine). Flowers large and very double, 
of a pale rosy lilac colour, with dark veins on the upper petals ; 
forms a large truss. A very fine variety. Flowers of the largest 
and finest forms.
