to be a distinct variety and not a synonym. This is an example of many similar 

 cases in which a name may be mistakenly classed as a synonym, because the plant we 

 found so labeled may not be correct. It is as if we should come across a pink 

 peony labelled Fe^tiva Maxima that was identical with Edulis Superba, and should 

 conclude that Festiva Maxima was a synonym of Edulis Superba. B. H. Farr.] 



Prolifcra Tricolor, page 254. " Prolifera " should be added as a 

 synonym. 



Due de Caacs, page 256. " Comte de Cayes " should be added as a 

 synonym, although very likely a mere error in spelling. 



Edulis Superba, page 257. Under synonyms : information on the iden- 

 tity of " Sainfoin " and " Glorie de Douai " indicates that these sorts are 

 distinct varieties, even though they were merely " Edulis Superba " 

 falsely labeled in the Cornell plots. (See note on " Miss Brice.") 



Baron James de Rothschild, page 259. " Lord Roberts " should be 

 added as a synonym. 



Carnea Elegans, page 262. Should read, originated by Calot. 



Good variety rather than poor. 



Strong variety rather than zueak. 



Medium variety rather than dzuarf. 



Free rather than medium bloomer. 



Princess Maud, page 263. Remarks — Very similar to " Due de Wel- 

 lington." 



Dr. Bretonncau, (Verdier), page 263. The following so-called sorts 

 should be added as synonyms: ''Rosea Superba" (this also is oftener a 

 synonym of " Modeste Guerin"), "* Rosea Pleiiissima Superba," "Nell 

 Gwynn," "Marquis Ito," "Madame Modeste," "Active," "Fairy 

 Queen," " Isabella Karlitzky," " Lady Leonora," " Reevesiana," " Frina," 

 and " Thisbe." 



Duchesse d'Orleans, page 267. " Plena Variegata " should be added as 

 a synonym. 



Decaisne, page 269. There is some doubt as to the identity of this 

 variety. 



Andre Lanries, page 271. This variety should be known as " Fra- 

 grans," as it was introduced from China, in 1805, by Sir Joseph Banks 

 under the latter name. The following synonyms should be added : 

 " American Beauty," " Edulis," " Edulis Fragrans," " Chinensis Rubra/' 

 " Fragrantissiina," " Mons. Charles Leveque " (here a variety under the 

 name Mons. Charles is ineant, since the variety Charles Leveque, intro- 

 duced from Holland, is a synonym of Mile. Leonie Calot. — B. IL Farr), 

 and " Rosea Plenissima." 



Madame Emile Lcmoine, page 273. Added note : prominent carmine 

 flecks occur on the central petals.
