in the matter of form and color, that any one in attempting to 

 name a Hst of, let us say, sixty choicest varieties, runs a risk of 

 omitting a variety that another grower, equally or more experi- 

 enced, considers "the best," and such omission might be either 

 intentional or from lack of familiarity with the variety in ques- 

 tion. The present writer, however, feels inclined to recommend 

 the following list :

Countess of Lonsdale, salmon, tinted apricot, j-.*
