THE FLORIST. 
37 . Clarissa.—From Messrs. Rollisson & Sons. Medium habit; 
leaves distinctly zonate ; flowers small, in compact trusses, scarlet. 
3S. Compactum.—Prom the Society’s collection. Coarse habit; 
leaves distinctly zonate ; flowers small, in large compact trusses, scar¬ 
let. Inferior as here grown, but a good variety for in-door culture. 
39. Compactum coccineum.—From Messrs. Fraser. Vigorous habit; 
leaves boldly zonate ; flowers small, in compact trusses, scarlet. Similar 
to Royalist and Bishopstoioe, but not so bright in colour. 
40. Conway’s Royalist.—From the Society’s collection. Medium 
habit, rather spreading; leaves boldly zonate; flowers small, in com¬ 
pact trusses, bright scarlet. It is similar to Bishopstowe^ but rather 
dwarfer, and is a useful variety. 
41. Cottage Maid.—From Mr. Scott. Medium habit; leaves 
boldly zonate; flowers medium-sized, scarlet. Inferior. 
42. Empress of the French. From Mr. Turner and Messrs. Low 
& Co. Vigorous habit, with boldly zonate leaves ; flowers large, in bold 
trusses, scarlet. The variety is rather coarse, and was considered in¬ 
ferior to British Flag. 
43. Fire Queen.—From Mr. Scott. Medium habit; leaves indis¬ 
tinctly zonate; flowers scarlet, of medium size, loose. An inferior 
sort. 
44. General Pellissier.—Prom Messrs. Fraser and Mr. Scott. 
Medium habit; leaves distinctly zonate ; flower-stalks pale; flowers 
medium-sized, tolerably well formed,* in moderate trusses, scarlet. 
Inferior. 
45. Glory of Somerset.—From Mr. Scott. Medium habit; leaves 
zonate. This variety did not flower, but is said to be a dark scarlet 
with white eye. 
46. Ivery’s Pet.—From Mr. Scott. Medium habit; leaves boldly 
zonate ; flowers medium sized, scarlet. Inferior. 
47 . Lilliput.—From Mr. Turner. Very dwarf; leaves small, with 
distinct dark zone ; flowers medium-sized, very bright scarlet. This 
variety proved to be a little gem. 
48. Martin Gireau.—From Messrs. Rollisson & Sons. Vigorous; 
leaves distinctly zonate ; flowers large, in bold long stalked trusses, 
light scarlet. A good variety, with fine bold infloresence. 
49 . New Globe.—From Messrs. Fraser. Vigorous habit; leaves 
boldly zonate ; flowers small, in compact trusses, bright scarlet. In 
the way of Bishopstowe. The foliage is fine, and the colour of the 
flowers good. 
50. Orion.—From Messrs. Low & Co. Medium habit; leaves 
boldly zonate; flowers medium sized, loose, scarlet. Inferior. 
51. Queen of England.—From Mr. Scott. Vigorous, with boldly 
zonate leaves ; flowers large, of good shape, produced in fair-sized 
trusses, bright scarlet. A variety of good properties. The same va¬ 
riety was received under the name of Excellence, apparently a mis¬ 
nomer. 
52. Reidi.—From Messrs. Fraser. Medium habit; leaves boldly 
zonate; flowers scarlet. This variety was not well in flower, but was 
considered inferior.
