scarlet, well spoken of; while the Stella and Vesuvius of Mr. 
James Veitch have been so often exhibited, that it is needless 
to speak of their merits. 
Princess Alexandra was raised by Mr. Ivery from a pod of 
seed gathered in 1861 off a large, light-coloured seedling (not 
named), impregnated with the pollen of Azalea Flower of the 
Pay. It partakes of the character of the latter flower in the 
remarkable substance of its petals; it is of moderate growth, 
with neat green foliage, the colour white, with beautiful pink 
stripes and bars; it has only been exhibited once at the Crystal 
Palace show, in May of the present year, where it obtained a 
first-class certificate, and was admired by all who saw it. It 
will, we believe, be let out in the course of next autumn.
