70. Radiance (Hill) — Poor. Flower 6 inches in diameter,

71. Rand, Mrs. TF. H. (Hill)— Very good. (See Fig. 95.) 

 Flowers 8 inches wide, pure yellow, looking like a mass of tangled 

 yellow thread. Florets show much irregularity especially in the 

 degree of laciniation and tubularity. Stem 24 to 30 inches, leaves 

 small. Kecommended for earliness, purity of color, individuality 

 of form, and remarkable keeping qualities. Comments on the 

 form ranged from "informal," "free," "pleasing," and "irreg- 

 ular," to " odd," " fantastic " and " eccentric." It is worth 

 noticing that the individual florets are far more irregular than the 

 flower head in its general effect. Compare J. E. Lager., title page. 

 Nov. 10. (Vaughan.) 1895.

 pure white. Florets wide. Stem 36 inches, foliage good. Nov. 

 10. Recommended for great size, purity of color, earliness and 

 keeping qualities. A popular vote of visitors would probably have 

 given this the first place over the entire collection. (Pitcher and 

 Manda.) 1895.

 curved, very high built, yellow. Outer florets often tubular. Stem
