Pallavicini di Brescia (Fig. 1) is the best-formed amongst 
those that we have seen, but then it is not so regularly striped 
as the others. It has a white ground with a brilliant crimson 
blotch in the centre of the pip, more or less filling it up, while 
it is also blotcherl and spotted with the same colour on the 
edges of the segments. Conte Bernhardino Lecdd has a white 
ground striped with crimson-violet; the pips are small, but 
round, while Caroline Cavagnini (Fig. 3) is irregular in shape, 
but distinct in colour, being a white ground striped with scarlet. 
As far as habit is concerned, we do not think, save Pallavicini 
di Brescia , that they are as vigorous as the older varieties. 
This we had blooming in our own garden during the past 
summer, and it was fully equal in this respect to the general 
run of those in the same bed with it.
