petal. These rules and regulations may perhaps appear super¬ 
fluous to those not initiated in the fancy; but the florist views 
them differently, by him they are regarded as the means of de- 
teimining the respective merits of all new flowers, and they are 
also, without doubt, the active principle in the improvement of 
this class of plants. 
Oui piesent illustration possesses these circular properties in 
an eminent degree, sufficiently so to constitute it a first-rate 
flower; it was raised by Messrs. Dickson, of Acre lane, Brixton, 
who are well known to grow this and every other description of 
floiist fioweis in the most extensive and successful manner. It 
obtained the premier seedling prize at the South London Floricul- 
tural Society s exhibition, in April last, and was classed as a first- 
rate flower by the Floricultural Society of London, at one of 
their meetings. 
We subjoin a List of the best flowers in their respective classes 
for the benefit of the young amateur, or those forming collec¬ 
tions which has been kindly selected by the above-named 
gentlemen.
