them on one side, but they need but little else until spring, 
when the beds should be top-dressed, stakes put, and as the 
flower-stems arise, to* be thinned out, both as to the number of 
stems and buds; there are, in fact, few flowers easier of cultiva¬ 
tion than the Pink. 
The Eev. George Jeans (Fig. 1) is so named after one of 
the most genuine florists it was ever our privilege to know, 
whose loss is mourned by a large circle who knew him, not 
only in this capacity, but as a ripe scholar, an accomplished 
gentleman, and a truly Christian pastor ; it is a flower of great 
beauty, the colour being very brilliant, the white pure, and the 
shape excellent; it was very justly awarded a first-class certi¬ 
ficate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural 
Society. Lord Herbert (Fig. 2) is also a flower of great refine¬ 
ment, not perhaps quite so distinct as the preceding one, but 
still a very beautiful variety. Both will be let out, with other 
beautiful varieties, by Mr. C. Turner, of Slough. 
We hope that some further encouragement may be given to 
the growth of this beautiful flower, for we feel confident that 
were more prizes to be offered for it, it would not only stimu¬ 
late amateurs to attempt its cultivation, but the general public 
would feel greatly interested in seeing a larger number of stands 
exhibited, from the evident interest with which those now sent 
forward are examined.
