will be at once seen that this is an entirely novel colour 
amongst Achimenes, as we have nothing at all approaching it, 
while the shape of the flower is good, as is also the habit of 
the plant, its profuseness of bloom being quite remarkable. 
Leopard , Fig. 2, is a bright magenta-rose, with a well-spotted 
throat, the flower being of good size and form. Its freshness 
of colour will be sure to make it a favourite. Besides these, 
Mr. Williams will have Magnet , orange, spotted with crimson, 
deep-carmine circle, spotted eye; Scarlet Perfection , rich car- 
mine-scarlet, orange eye, surrounded with a light ray, red 
centre; Vivicans , bright carmine, with carmine eye, shaded 
round with a blue ray, very distinct; and Eclipse , bright orange- 
red, eye beautifully spotted with carmine. 
As the culture of the Achimenes has been so frequently 
alluded to by us, it will not be necessary to add anything fur¬ 
ther to the directions which have been already given; and as 
that culture is now so well understood, we ought always to see 
the Achimenes, wherever grown, in a healthy and vigorous 
state.
