THE FLORIST. 
AURICULAS. 
As July is the month in which men are wont to make or mend their 
Auricula lists, I send you a Catalogue raisonnee, the result of some 
years’ care and trouble, for which, when I commenced growing these 
dowers, I should have been greatly obliged to any one that preceded me. 
The first list in each class, namely Lists I., IV., VI., and VIII., 
have none specially marked, because I consider all the varieties in them 
indispensable to any one wishing for a really good selection. To these 
must also be added the marked ones in List III., especially Nos. 27, 
29, 31, 37, and 39. In all the secondary lists I have marked with an 
asterisk those I consider the best. 
Not all here enumerated are worth growing at all. I have 
catalogued all I can speak ol with confidence from careful observation, 
whether good or bad. With the exception of List X., I either grow 
now, or have heretofore grown, or at least have been familar with, nearly 
the whole. The remaining few, not exceeding seven or eight, I have, 
perhaps incautiously, classed without seeing them in their growth. 
One of these, Smith’s Ne Plus Ultra, is that of which a pip was sent 
to me under the wrong name of Lady Sale, and which I noticed in your 
last month’s Florist.

1. Booth’s Freedom
