AZALEA—FANNY IVERY.



The name of Mr. Iveiy, of Dorking, is well known to all
lovers of the Azalea, as that of one to whom we are indebted
for a large number of some of the best varieties in cultivation.
Some of these have already found a place in the Floral Maga-
zine, and we are quite sure that that which we now figure will
prove no unworthy companion to those which have preceded
it ; we the more readily give it a place in our Magazine
because, of late years, our best flowers have been introduced
from Belgium.

Fanny Ivery is a flower of fine properties. It is large in size ;
the petals are broad and well expanded, the colour a rich deep
red, the upper segments being very strongly marked with deep
crimson spots. The habit of the plant is sturdy and strong,
and the flowers are produced very freely.

It wei-e superfluous to give any directions with regard to the
culture of the Azalea. We may, however, say that apparently
the more natural mode of gi'owing and training it is now more
popular. This we are not surprised at, and we tliink that
small plants are also finer objects to look upon than the
overgrown stiffly-trained plants we so often see at our great
exhibitions. Few plants are more easily managed, or more
thoroughly repay care and attention, than the beautiful and
delicately-perfumed Azalea.

Well done for finding that Wrex the Dragon.
Jacob must be truly grateful to you.
Jacob, to find a supplier, you could Google under Plant Finder. Good luck.
