PELARGONIUMS. 
LYNE’s PRINCESS ALICE AND LYNE’s WHITE PERFECTION. 
The Pelargoniums represented in the accompanying plate are 
selected from a quantity of seedlings raised by P. E. Lyne, 
Esq., of Lipson, near Plymouth, in 1843. They have been ex-* 
hibited several times during that and the present season, and 
have received very general admiration. The following de¬ 
scriptive account is sent us by Mr. W. Rendle, nurseryman, of 
Plymouth, who has the stock of these and other seedlings of 
Mr. Lyne’s raising for sale. 
Princess Alice , A well-formed flower of remarkably clear 
and bright colour? under petals, bright salmon pink; the upper 
petals have a large, rich, dark velvet blotch, gradually chang¬ 
ing through bright crimson to a narrow margin of rosy vermi¬ 
lion, which r s quite distinct. It was exhibited at the 
Chiswick Fete, Jure 17th, 1843, and w'as then awarded a seed¬ 
ling prize; and also at the June Meeting of the Floricultural 
Society of London, where it received another seedling prize. 
The habit of the plant is very dwarf, and it is a free trusser. 
White Perfection . Under petals broad and well formed, of 
the purest white; rich plum-coloured spot, with a distinct 
marginal line of pure white ; excellent habit, and a most abun¬ 
dant bloomer. This flower is indispensable in a good col¬ 
lection, it being by far the best white at present known. It 
received the first seedling prize at Torquay, June 1843, and 
the gold medal at Plymouth, May 30. 1844.
