Our illustrations for this Number are furnished by Mr. W. E. 
Rendle, nurseryman, of Plymouth, and the accompanying de-

Lyne’s Celestial. This beautiful variety was raised by 
P. E. Lyne, Esq., of Plymouth. It has been exhibited at the

seedlings. It gained the gold medal at Plymouth, May, 1843, 
and the seedling prize at Torquay, June 22, 1843. It is a very 
free bloomer, and large trusser, and can be recommended as a 
superior show variety. 
Lyne’s Redworth has also been exhibited at the principal 
shows in the West of England, and has gained for itself the 
“ golden opinion ” of all who have seen it. It is a very rich and

Geraniums. The flowers are extra-sized, and it is a very fine 
trusser. W. E. R.
