Aviaranth-Jlowej'ed Varieties . 

 * Showing the silver backs of the florets. 



* Australie. — The reverse is the chief feature. Only a suggestion of 

 the amaranth interior, and no disc seen. 



* Pride of Afadjord. — Both colors show. Disc appears early. 



* General Roberts. — Flower practically same as the last. 



** Not showing the backs of the florets. 



* Wood's Pet. — Early, worthy to precede Viviand-Morel. 

 Leonidas. — Early. A different form from the last. Otherwise an 



equal choice. 



Other Colors. 



LoANTiKA. — Early. Red, reverse yellow. Worthy to precede Pluto. 

 Chita. — Red with yellow stripes. Flow^er very large, odd and 

 striking. 



Casco. — An excellent dark sort, early and lasting. 



* Alice Carter. — Unique, curious, beautiful. A type for the ama- 

 teur. 



"^ E. G. Hazeldene. — Large Anemone section. 



Mizpah. — (See title-page.) A single variety, an excellent type and a 

 good pot plant. One of our plants 14 inches high had 80 flowers at 

 once. Unfortunately, they fade and must be picked off. 



The varieties above commended are now redistributed into two 

 other groups. The Amateur List contains many of the finer types 

 that the private gardener and skilled amateurs, it is hoped, will save 

 from oblivion. In both groups the * is prefixed to varieties suitable 

 for pot culture, and the f to those suitable for exhibition.
