92 Root-Ciitt'mgs and Chimaeras II 



Humboldtii, white single, glabrous (23). 

 jasrainiflora, whitish pink (1). 



King of Scarlets, scarlet single (12); and from these again (7). 

 Lemoinei, red double (25). 

 Pres. Garfield, pinkish white double (2). 

 Priory Beauty, rose single (3). 

 The Bride, white single (2). 

 Vreelandii, white single (10). 

 leiantha, a species, scarlet single (9). 



and from a seedling, scarlet single, produced by the late Mr Allard 

 from Cleveland x leiantha (2), 



Vulcan, a scarlet single, short-styled, gave 27 root-cuttings like itself 

 and one rose-pink single^. 



President Cleveland, scarlet single, long styled, gave 23 true to type, 

 and 8 peculiar, having flowers scarlet marbled with white. These flowers 

 were rather smaller and looked unhealthy, but for several seasons they 

 have kept the same character, and the plants seemed in normal health. 

 The margins of the petals are scarlet, and the marbling consists of whitish 

 lines irregularly distributed over the petals, coalescing towards the central 

 and basal parts. In the streaks the substance of the petals is somewhat 

 thinned, a feature which gives them a depauperated appearance. Our 

 stock of Cleveland came from two commercial sources, and the two lots 

 were not kept distinct. It is therefore doubtful whether both kinds of 

 root-cuttings came from one plant in this case. 



From roots of true Cleveland ex Cleveland 21 were raised all true; 

 and from them again 7 all true. 



From roots of marbled root-cuttings of Cleveland we had 16 marbled, 

 11 with slight and irregular traces of the marbling, and one not marbled, 

 being true Cleveland. 



A variegated form of Humboldtii, having a green core and a pale 

 yellowish green cortex, gave 2 root-cuttings green, as might be expected. 

 These have not yet flowered. 



In style-length the root-cuttings have always agreed with the parent 

 plant, shorts coming from shorts and longs from longs. 



Pelargoniums (Fancy). 



Fancy and especially "Regal" (i.e. semi-doubles with petals crumpled) 



Pelargoniums have been said to give root-cuttings with flowers differing 



1 Though this "sport "came alone there is no reason to doubt that its origin was 

 correctly recorded. We had no similar variety.
