The present fine plant is a hybrid production, and was
raised from seed last year, in the collection of J. Fassett
Burnett, Esq. of May-place, Crayford, Kent; and from a
plant sent us from thence by Miss Burnett, who raised it,
our drawing was made in June last; we have named it in
compliment to the Lady who raised it, and from whom we
have received some other very pretty sorts.
The present plant may be considered as one of the first
rate sorts, as it is a very large flower, and of a distinct rich
colour; it is also of free growth, and will make a strong robust
plant: like the rest of the tribe to which it belongs, it
will thrive well in a mixture of light sandy loam and peat,
or any other rich light soil. Cuttings of it will strike root
freely, planted in pots, in the same sort of soil, and placed
on a shelf in the Greenhouse.
