AiUumyi Bride (Smith). — Mentioned only because of its being the earliest 

 white with us this season. Flowers do not last long. 



Crawford, BIrs. R, (Spaulding). — Noticed because it is a late white. Of 

 its lateness and commercial qualities no experiment station can judge as 

 well as growers. Yattoina was more prolific and the form more attractive. 



Pinks. 



Perrin, Mme. Felix (Smith). — Best crimson pink in the bed. The form 

 is regular, incurved, and somewhat stiff. Color faded slightly. Recom- 

 mended only as being the best pink of the year and not for any permanent 

 advance. 



Perriji, Mrs. (Hill).— Color and form were not distinguishable from the 

 above. A few days later was the only difference with us. 



Simpson, Win. (Blanc). The form of this crimson pink variety is more 

 unusual and less conventional than of the preceding. Our single plant had 

 a large, early, long-keeping flower which faded little, but the foliage 

 was so scattered and the neck so weak as to make it impossible for us to 

 recommend it from our experience for extensive commercial use. 



Rosy Efnperatriee (Yoshiike). — Pink for only a few days, rapidly fading 

 to white. Almost as large and long-keeping as Lenawee and of similar form. 



Fig. 85. 



Kaye, Sibyl (Spaulding). — Faded from pink to white as rapidly as the last, 

 and kept for a long period. The form is somewhat similar to that of Infatuation. 



Yellows. 



York, Duchess of (Hill). — Form reflexed, loose, graceful and flowing. 

 Color a soft and rather light yellow, beside which the next is bold and metal- 

 lic. It is on three of our four lists of recommended varieties, for it is one 

 of the best yellows we have ever seen. 



Modesto (Smith) — Form common but popular. Color bold and strong. 

 It has all the marks of a successful commercial variety. 



Other Colors. 



Pluto (May). — Red, reverse yellow. The best of its color and type yet 

 seen at Cornell. While essentially a commercial sort, it is just the thing for 

 amateurs because of its interesting stages of development. 



Buff Globe (Yoshiike). — Noted as having the peculiar form and drooping 

 habit of Good Gracious which is very attractive to many people. The color 

 is pretty and restful but cannot compete for attention in a large crowd with 

 the more vivid ones. 



Owen, Heleft (Owen). — A deep, quickly incurving Japanese flower, with a 

 low center like that of Good Gracious, the youngest rays tightly whorled 

 and showing the sulfur reverse. Face of rays chiefly brownish flesh and 

 yellow. There is plenty of room for this and Pluto. 



Violescent (Smith). — A large, deep, compact flower, the pinkish tinge 

 being delicate and rather short-lived with us. An ideal commercial and 

 exhibition sort, if one could be sure of the color. Even as a white variety^ 

 however, it would be a distinct success.
