flower ; ground colour a clear primrose, edging a bright purple, 
petals very waxy; a very first-rate flower. 
Lightbodys Lady Sale. White ground, with a rose spot 
regularly distributed over it; a new flower, and one deserving 
of a place in every collection. 
Lightbodys Blank. Another very pretty flower; white 
ground, with light purple mottled. 
These six are expensive kinds. Of less scarce sorts, Light- 
body’s Triton, Margent, Constantia, Vanguard, Splendour, 
Princess Royal, and Tartar can be recommended. 
Tysos Edgar. This flower has been called by judges about 
London the model of perfection ; its shape is very good ; yellow 
ground,red edge. 
Tyso’s Pauline . A delicate pretty flower; white ground, 
lilac edge ; and, when caught not too fully open, a very delicate 
and pretty variety. 
Tyso's Delectus. Yellow ground, with red edge ; another 
pretty and well marked flower. These two were figured in the 
second volume of The Florist's Journal. 
Tyso’s Perfect. A good yellow flower; comes occasionally 
with a narrow red edge, but more frequently is a yellow self. 
Hubert, Cathcart, and Vendome, by the same raisers, are also 
very good kinds. I can bear my humble testimony to the ex¬ 
ceeding liberality with which both these growers are accustomed 
to treat their customers. My own taste inclines to Mr. Light- 
body’s flowers, as they are fuller and less apt to show the eye. 
But no collection now-a-days can be complete without a few of 
each : and they have this very great qualification, that while 
the old Dutch kinds are so exceedingly uncertain, both in their 
growth and in their flowering, these seedlings always hold their 
ground and bloom freely. 
I have thus endeavoured to answer T-’s question, and trust 
my answer is satisfactory; and, in conclusion, beg to say that 
to be Lightbody’s), the description of which stands thus : — first-rate flower, 
white ground colour, with medium crimson edge. There is also a Sir 
James Graham, or rather two of them, the correct one being a decidedly 
inferior flower; it is white with purple spots. The other is that sold by 
Messrs. Lockhart erroneously under the latter name, it being the true Sir' 
John. We believe Mr. Lightbody originally called this flower Sir John de 
Graham. — Ed.] 
We shall be glad to receive the directions for planting our respected
