NOVELTIES, &c„ AT FLOWER SHOWS. 
)NOTHER fine Violet was produced by Mr. Graham, of Cranford, at 
the meeting of the Floral Committee on the 18th of February. It 
greatly resembles The Czar, but the flowers are said to be larger, of 
better form, and more fragrant; it is named Victory. The plant 
also illustrated in a remarkable degree what could be done with the 
Violet under superior cultivation. 
Two new Camellias—Miss Baskerville Gregg, from Mr. Allen, Withington 
Hall Gardens, and Florentine Beauty , from Messrs. E. G. Henderson & Son, 
must be seen in much better condition ere they can rank as standard kinds. 
The first named is a white ground flower, slightly flaked with pale rose ; 
the latter a pale rosy-salmon-coloured variety, something in the way of 
Valteverado. The former lacks build and symmetry; the other requires 
increased size and augmented substance. A double-flowered Azalea, named 
Frangois Devos, came from Messrs. F. & A. Smith, Dulwich; it was a small 
plant, loaded with very good double flowers, of a bright red hue, but the 
specimen scarcely furnished a reliable criterion by which to judge of its 
merits. It will probably be seen again, and is not unlikely, as in the case 
of the double variety named William Bull, to be useful for forcing. 
A somewhat novel form of the Primula sinensis, called plicata, was also 
shown by Messrs. F. & A. Smith. The foliage is rather undersized, but 
it has a tough and wiry appearance, suggestive of a greater hardihood of 
constitution than usually falls to the lot of this popular spring-flowering 
plant. The flowers are plaited, of a pale lilac rose hue, paler at the edges, 
and having a showy yellow centre. The calyx is most unusually large, 
and continues to grow on with the flower, and would appear to serve to
