Excerpt from a letter written by Mr. Robert Taylor of Auckland, 
New Zealand, to us a few months ago: 
“Yes, Salmon Sheen, Brocade and Gunga Din were planted at Gov- 
ernment House, together with many other items from our nursery. 
Most plants were in flower during the Queen’s residence and Salmon 
Sheen and Gunga Din did their utmost to earn a good name for the 
U.S.A. Brocade commenced to flower the day of the Queen’s depart- 
ure. I was very sorry that the beautiful Brocade was not a few days 
earlier because she is a pet of mine; however, Salmon Sheen was a 
very worthy representative of your pastels. One stalk had 63 buds. 
This Salmon Sheen is prolific in its flowering habit, and provides two 
periods of flowering in the 12 months, the two periods aggregating 7 
months. Brocade and Gunga Din also perform nearly as well with 
Penelope very close.” .
