fection, with all the advantage of beautiful and brilliant contrasts 
in colour. 
Turville’s Fire King is conspicuous for its bright, orange-red, 
fiery-looking petals. The flower is of fine shape, and, being quite 
distinct, is desirable in every position. 
Elphinstone’s Mrs. Shaw Lefevre is equally good ; the petals 
and outline excellent; colour red and white. 
Barnes’s Jenny Lind is good and extremely pretty, the bright, 
crimson-tipped petals being very striking. 
Harrison’s Jenny Deans is another pleasing flower ; the ground¬ 
colour of a sanguine hue, edged with white; the petals well 
formed and smooth. 
Turville’s Charles Turner. Outline good; petals finely-formed, 
filling the centre evenly and well, not large ; colour white, tinged 
with blush, and tipped with deep purple. 
Bally’s Maid of Kent. Very neat and delicate ; tolerably good 
form ; petals good, and plenty of them; white, tipped with rose. 
Pelargoniums. Beck’s Aurora’s Beam. A large, well-formed 
flower; upper petals dark, edged with rose ; lower petals deep 
rose ; white centre; good habit, and fine truss. 
Beck’s Honora. Large, distinct flower; upper petals dark 
maroon, with a narrow edging of pale rose; lower ones almost

petals dark, purplish maroon, banded with a narrow, even edge 
of rose; lower ones a delicate, yet full pink ; centre white ; fine 
truss, and better habit than the preceding. 
Topping’s Brilliant. Large, flat, and even ; upper petals fiery 
red, with dark blotch; lower portion reddish-scarlet; extra fine
