wonderfully fine; as it was, they were so forced into bloom as 
to be deficient in quality of flower and foliage; and however 
useful these manures may be for some things, he is convinced 
that for' soft-wooded plants they are ill-suited. 
Of the two varieties which we now figure, Anne Page (No. 1) 
is a beautifully-shaped light-coloured flower, very round in out¬ 
line, bright crimson-rose top petals, the lower ones marked and 
veined with the same shade on a lighter ground, the edges of 
all the petals being white. Edgar Turner (No. 2) has very 
dark-crimson top petals, with a fiery crimson edge; the lower 
petals with dark blotches of the same, shaded, like the top, with 
black, and with a clear white throat; this will be, we think, a 
valuable plant for exhibition purposes, an opinion which Mr. 
Turner also entertains.
