Amongst the flowers exhibited on the occasion alluded to 
were several new 7 ones of excellent quality, and when we speak 
of new Auriculas, it is not as in the Verbena, Geranium, etc., 
where the novelties of this year are considered old next season; 
but in the Auricula a flower may be considered new for eight 
or ten years, so slow are they to increase. Of these w T e would 
mention Turner s Buckstone , a flue grey-edge flower, which took 
the premier prize; Headly’s George IAghtbody , also grey ; Pohl- 
man’s Garibaldi , a dark self; and Lightbody’s Lord Clyde , the 
subject of our present Plate. This latter is a flue dark flower 
of a maroon shade of colour, well formed, and of good sub¬ 
stance ; the paste is somewhat too angular, but is solid. We 
think the flower is destined to hold a high place amongst self- 
coloured varieties, a class generally very much admired.
