Note. Such appalling confusion exists with regard to the spelling of the word Humei that the writer was forced to unify and simplify the spelling as above. If one variety is called Humea and another Humei and another Humeii, etc., great confusion is found to result. Therefore the writer urges the adoption of the above uniform spelling.

Double Flowered Varieties.
These form the major part of the collection and occupy by far the larger portion of the ground; and although at the time of our visit the display of bloom was yet in its infancy, many beds having yet to open, the following varieties were exceptionally noteworthy. 
Humei Carnea, although an old variety is yet able to hold its own among the newer introductions with its superb rose-coloured blooms which, however, change to blush-white in the later stages.
