the exception of Paul's Telemly Mauve, which is distinct from Arkwright's 

 Telemly Mauve and which belongs to the outdoor type since it exhibits 

 similar characteristics of bushy growth and is late-flowering. This 

 variety, planted at the same time as the other varieties from Mr. Paul, 

 produced flowers eight to nine weeks later ; the second year it gave flowers 

 seventeen to eighteen weeks later. 



The Telemly varieties from Ark^vright show by the form of their flowers 

 that they have been derived from Blanche Ferry. The latter, when sown 

 in August, does not flower much in winter, although it has much the same 

 character of gro\v'th. 



The varieties Florence E. Denzer and Mont Blanc, also Earliest White, 

 Watchung, and Snowbird, and Christmas Pink, Earliest of All, Reselected 

 Earliest of All, and Blanche Ferry, have flowers that are identical and the 

 three last named come into bloom at the same time. The open-flowered 

 varieties from Zvolanek and Boddington are earlier than the hooded 

 varieties and are also less \dgorous growers.
