THE FLORIST. 
69. Mons. Martin.—From Messrs. Rollisson & Sons, Mr. Turner, 
and Messrs. Fraser. Medium habit; leaves distinctly zoned ; flowers 
large, well formed in compact trusses, of a lively rosy-scarlet, or bright 
cerise-scarlet, like Lady Middleton. This is a fine sort, in the way of 
Rubens and Lady Middleton, and one well deserving of cultivation. 
70 . Paul Labbe.—From Messrs. Fraser. Medium and somewhat 
erect habit; leaves distinctly zonate ; flowers of good size and fine form, 
but produced in small trusses, rosy-salmon. A fine variety for pots. 
71 . Picturatum.—From Mr. Hally. Medium habit; leaves indis¬ 
tinctly zonate; flowers deep rose. This variety scarcely came into 
bloom. 
72 . Rubens.—From Mr. Taylor. Moderately vigorous; leaves zo¬ 
nate ; flowers large, fine form, produced in good-sized compact trusses ; 
cerise-pink. A fine variety for all purposes. 
73 . Sheen Rival.—From Mr. Kinghorn. Medium and somewhat 
spreading habit, with distinctly zonate leaves; flower-stalks pale; 
flowers large, well formed, in bold compact trusses, cerise-scarlet. One 
of the best varieties in cultivation. 
74 . Surprise.—From Mr. Turner. Dwarf, with zonate leaves, dis¬ 
tinctly marked with mottled green; flowers medium-sized, in compact 
trusses, rosy-scarlet. Inferior. 
75 . Talma.—From Messrs. Rollisson & Sons. Medium habit; 
leaves slightly zonate ; flowers rosy-scarlet. 
76. The Bishop.—From Mr. Scott. Medium habit; a very distinct 
variety, the leaves green, with a yellowish green centre, and a dark 
zone ; flowers large, in large trusses, rather loose, rosy-scarlet; they 
are produced on pale-coloured stalks. Though a distinct sort, it is of 
inferior properties. 
§ 3. Flowers salmon or flesh-colour, 
77 . Aurora.—From Mr. Hally. Dwarf; leaves distinctly zonate ; 
flowers deep salmon-pink, not well developed. The variety is evidently 
not adapted for open air culture in such a season as the past, though a 
very beautiful object for pot culture. 
78. Blackheath Beauty.—From Mr. Hally. Dwarf; leaves dis¬ 
tinctly zonate ; flowers pinkish-blush. This, like Aurora, is a beau- 
ful little plant for pot culture, but in seasons like the past is not suited 
for bedding. 
79 . Cherry Cheek.—From Mr. Taylor. Vigorous; leaves large, 
zonate ; flowers medium-sized, deep salmon-pink. Inferior. 
80. Chione.—From Messrs. Rollisson & Sons. Medium habit; 
leaves distinctly zonate; flowers medium-sized, flesh-colour. Inferior. 
81. Criterion.—From Mr. Taylor, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Turner. 
Moderately vigorous habit; leaves large, distinctly zonate ; flowers 
well formed, in compact trusses, flesh-colour or blush. Ineffective, 
and evidently not suited for out-door culture in seasons like the past. 
82. Prince Louis of Hesse.—From Mr. Ingram. Medium habit, 
with the erectish growth of Paul Labbe; leaves distinctly zonate; 
flowers large, well formed, salmon-red, paler towards the edges. This, 
which was grown as seedling A, was pronounced a first-class variety
