more than eighteen inches high, and the flowers are very pure 
in colour. When the hybridizer has been enabled to reduce 
the height of this interesting class, nothing will be more beau¬ 
tiful than beds of the individual colours, as there is a character 
and richness of appearance, combined with elegance, almost in¬ 
describable.” 
W e subjoin, from the same authority, the names of a few of 
the best, varying in height from three to four feet:— Gold Phea¬ 
sant, yellow, edged, and tipped with salmon-red. Beinishman, 
buff and salmon-yellow, bronze edge. Little Valentine , reddish 
crimson, flushed and tipped with white. Bijou , shaded rose, 
tipped with violet-crimson. Hebe , rich, deep amaranth-rose. 
Little Philip , creamy buff, edged with rosy pink. Little I)orrit, 
rich rose-shaded crimson. Tom Tit , bluish lilac, edged' and 
tipped with violet-purple. Little May , richly tinted maroon- 
crimson. Little Mistress , rich violet self-purple. Little Barling, 
bright amaranth-rose. Pearl , pure white (eighteen inches high). 
Little Phoebus , rich blush, tipped with violet-crimson. Goldfinch, 
rich golden yellow, bronze centre. Br. Webb , rich scarlet. Star, 
orange, tipped with scarlet. Fairy Nymph, clear rosy lilac. 
Little Kate, small, velvety, purplish crimson; and Little While- 
mine, blush, with rosy pink. 
Of these we have figured, Little Whilemine (fig. 1), blush, 
tipped with rosy pink ; Little Barling (fig. 2), a bright amaranth- 
rose, of exquisite shape,—a miniature Lord Berby, —and Little 
Philip (fig. 3), reflexed in shape, a pretty creamy buff, edged
