THE FLORIST. 
Blooming Girl (Hooper).—White; blue purple margin, which is 
broad and rich; flower large, and at times a little rough; yet a 
good useful flower. 
Bride of Abydos (Parsons).—Straw, with broad margin of rosy pur¬ 
ple ; smooth, medium size. 
Chalvey Rival (Turner).—Fiery mulberry; very rich; good shape; 
but rather under the average size. 
Candidate (Thomson).—Straw; and broad purple margin; eye, shape, 
and substance good. The early spring and late autumn blooms 
have a tendency to be deeper in the ground-colour of the bottom 
petal than on the sides ; yet a noble flower. 
Constellation (Thomson).—Style of Regulator; but an improvement 
upon it, and large. 
Chenedole (Hooper).—Straw ; slightly margined all round with blue 
purple ; the bottom petal occasionally deeper in the ground-colour 
than the side : very showy. 
Climax (Bell).—Pearl white; blue purple margin ; distinct, and good 
shape ; bottom petal cups a little too much. 
Diamond (Hall).—Large dark purple; constant, and robust grower ; 
surface not glossy. 
Dr. Wolff (Backhouse).—Gold ; bronze purple margin ; constant 
and useful; the side-petals should be larger. 
Duchess of Rutland (Thomson).—White; narrow margin of pale lilac; 
a very distinct and sweet flower; bottom petal cups; white 
good; eye dense. 
Duke of Wellington { Hooper).—Gold and rich chocolate; confused 
about the eye ; large, good shape ; somewhat coarse. 
Euclid (Thomson).—A flower in the style of Pizarro ; margin is 
more of a bronze colour, and better eye; but when both are in 
good condition, they are not sufficiently dissimilar for the same 
stand; bad grower. 
Exquisite (King).—White ; narrow margin of lilac ; faint eye ; not 
smooth on the edges at all times ; good ; showy and useful early. 
Grand Sultan (Youell).—Dark plum; smooth on the edges, and flat; 
but possesses three colours. 
Gloria Mundi (Hooper).—Rich yellow, and bright bronze margin, 
which is narrow, and extends round the flower; but at times 
broken on the lower petals. 
Great Britain (Hooper).—Yellow; purple margin ; smooth, and use¬ 
ful flower ; of full size. 
Goliath (Bragg).—Dark plum ; smooth and good.

best in the autumn. 
Lady Sale (Hooper).—Pure white; margin rich dark purple; side 
petals do not meet well; very striking variety, and best early.
