direction, for in Pink Perfection we have the forerunner, pro¬ 
bably, of a race of flowers of large size, combined with that 
brightness of colonring hitherto only found in such small flowers 
as Dazzle and Meteor. 
As we have nothing to add to the former remarks we have 
made on the subject of the cultivation of Achimenes , it remains 
merely to say that Pink Perfection (Fig. 1) is a fine, well-formed 
flower, of nearly three inches diameter, of a deep, rosy-pink 
colour, throat yellow, spotted with orange; while Grandis is a 
somewhat smaller, but still very fairly-sized flower, of a purplish- 
lilac, or deep mauve-colour, with orange-spotted throat. Both 
varieties are very free flowering, and will be valuable additions 
to the class.
