Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany A. Aurantiaca. This is one of the best of the genus, flowering abundantly as it does even on small plants, scarcely exceeding 6 inches high. The leaves are 6 - 8 inches long, smooth, dark green above, with the midrib and primary veins of a darkish purple beneath. The flowers are produced from erect imbricated spikes, on the apices of the branches, at first of a rich yellow, subsequently changing to a deep orange-scarlet, and remaining a long time in perfection; some plants of it here having been in flower for two months, and to all appearance will last for a month to come.

Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist and Garden Miscellany, 1858, Vol. 11 We must next mention the British Pomological and National Flori cultural Societies, two very useful institutions of somewhat recent origin, but both of increasing popularity with their respective supporters. Reports of the meetings of these societies appear in our pages as they are held. Their practical utility is shown by the faith placed by the' public in their awards, which present a guarantee of the comparative value of the different subjects submitted to their decision - the only true guide for purchasers to select by. The success of these institutions (which have arisen solely to supply the wants of a large class interested in improving the races of fruits and flowers, and determining their properties), affords gratifying proofs of the increased favour in which these branches of horticulture are held by the public.

Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany, 1859 WE offer with the new year our usual summary of the novelties of the past season. In doing this we wish it to be understood that it is the most prominent of those which have appeared in public, or have been figured or noticed in the various botanical and horticultural publications, that we here bring together for ready reference. There are, no doubt, others, which have found their way into gardens, which have not taken so prominent a position, or which we shall hear of hereafter. Our notes are necessarily brief, on account of the space they would otherwise have occupied, but we trust sufficient to give some general idea Of the several plants. We have thought it useful, moreover, to record the accessible figures of the plants which have been issued. Florists' flowers are excluded from our plan, and we have arranged our notes under the heads of orchids, stove plants, and greenhouse and hardy plants, for the purpose of greater distinctness.

Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist, and Garden Miscellany, 1854 I need not ask, Who are not fond of owers? The question is an swered every day, either by inquiry or recommendation: those who are unfortunate enough not to possess them, admire them none the less on that account; and those who have such enjoyable com panions, I find, are at all times anxious to widen their circle of ao quaintance, and to increase those means of enjoyment which owers bring within their reach.
