 for massing and cutting. Ophelia (Wm. Paul), 1912 — flower of perfect form, full, flesh col- 

 ored salmon shaded with rose, widely grown in United States and England as a cut flower, 

 but little known in France. Primrose (Soupert and Notting), 1912 — fairly vigorous, flowers

 Letter Day (A. Dickson) , 1914 — flowers large, sometimes with two rows of petals, shining crim- 

 son scarlet, producing a good decorative effect. Judgment is reserved on varieties introduced 

 since 1916. The descriptions of all the foregoing varieties are based on plants growing in

 clusters, double, deep shining rose, the best variety for pot culture and forcing; Jeanny Sou- 

 pert (Soupert and Notting, 1912) — vigorous, large clusters of flowers, flesh-colored white;

 tending to violet; Yvonne Rabier (E. Turbat and Co., 1910) — hardy, flowers white tinged

1875. Van den Heede, A. Les plantes vivaces et rustiques: Les Gentianes. [Perennial, 

 hardy plants: the gentians.] Rev. Hortic. [Paris] 92: 84. 1920. — The various species of gen- 

 tians, of which there are a large number, are particularly valuable when masses of blue color 

 are desired. The red or yellow flowered forms seem less attractive. Gentiana acaulis L. is 

 one of the best and most widely disseminated species. — E. J. Kraus.
