than for the open ground. The colour of it is a beautiful 
salmon-rose, shading off in the edges of the petals to a more 
delicate shade of the same, the centre of the flower being also 
of a lighter colour; the foliage is very handsome, strongly 
marked with the horseshoe; and the flowers are produced in 
great abundance, the individual trusses being large; and as it 
was exhibited so early in the year, it would seem to be one of 
those varieties which bloom freely in the winter, and if so, it 
will be very suitable for cutting from, for bouquets and for ge¬ 
neral decorative effect. It will be distributed to the public next 
spring, when a favourable opportunity of testing its general 
merits will be afforded—merits which have been acknowledged 
not only by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural 
Society, but also at the Royal Botanic Society’s and Crystal 
Palace Exhibitions, and which we therefore think must be con¬ 
siderable.
