the  glowing  scarlet  Isinglass,  with  its  fine  petals  ;  the  rich  purple 
Bendigo,  the  rose  pink  Asphodel,  and  (he  rose  scarlet  Boadicea ;  all  of 
these  are  worthy  of  inclusion  in  every  collection,  though  they  are  not 
necessarily  the  producers  of  flowers  that  come  up  to  the  exhibition 
standard.^  Omission  had  almost  been  made  of  George  Maguay,  which  is 
in'the^front  rank  of  pare  white  border  Carnations,  as  it  produces  well- 
are  given  briefly,  commencing  with  Banner,  bright  scarlet ;  Desmon- 
lins,  white  ground  heavily  marked  with  maroon;  Enchantress,  deep 
rose  pink ;  Goldylocks,  yellow  splashed  with  scarlet ;  Queen  Bess, 
apricot ;  Rizzio,  bright  yellow ;  Guinevere,  buff  suffused  with  pink  ; 
Falcon,  pale  yellow ;  Benbow,  buff  ;  Aglaia,  pale  yellow  ground

shaped  flowers  in  astonishing  abundance  with  “grass”  in  generous 
proportion  ;  George  Maguay  is  a  variety  that  will  withstand  the  test  of 
years. 
Turning  now  to  the  newer  Carnations,  we  find  a  very  long  list 
that  includes  several  of  sterling  merit.  It  is  not  possible  either  to 
name  the  whole  of  them,  or  to  furnish  complete  descriptions,  so  they 
yellows.  Of  yellow  ground  Piootees  introduced  during  1899  and  1900, 
the  best  were  Onda,  claret  edge ;  Professor,  scarlet  edge ;  Duke  of 
Alva,  purple  edge ;  Borderer,  bright  red  edge,  and  Alberta,  glowing 
scarlet  edge.  These  are  all  of  tine  quality,  and  will  probably  find 
their  way  into  many  collections  when  the  fast  approaching  time  for 
distributing  rooted  layers  has  arrived.— F.  W.
