NEW CARNATION, 
PRIMCE.” 
This Grand Novelty will be found a decided acquisition. From its remark¬ 
ably vigorous constitution it is certain to take a leading position in the Carnation 
world, producing plenty of “grass” and flowering profusely. 
Whether for Border or Conservatory decoration “ KEIR PRINCE ” will cer¬ 
tainly become a general favourite. In colour it is a rich glowing scarlet, and 
perfect in form.

f HRYSANTHEMUMS FOR New ZEALAND.—It 
will doubtless be of interest to many to 
know that the Committee of the National 
Chrysanthemum Society has resolved to 
repay in full the compliment paid them by 
the Chrysanthemum growers in New Zea¬ 
land when they sent across to the mother 
country in a frozen condition the flowers 
raised by Mr. John Earland. In order to 
carry this happy resolve into effect arrange¬ 
ments have been made with the Blackfriars 
Cold Storage Company to send out in time 
to be exhibited at the annual exhibition of 
the Wellington, New Zealand, Chrysanthe¬ 
mum Society, in April next, a dozen fine 
Tapanese blooms presented by Mr. W. 
Herbert Fowler, of Taunton, and which 
formed a portion of the 48 varieties with 
which he won the Holmes Memorial 
Challenge Cup, and a similar number of 
fine incurved varieties shown in such superb 
form this season by Mr. Mease, gardener to
