§ 3. Branchikg, or Pyramidal Ten-weeks'. 

 The plants in the varieties referred to this section aie taller 

 than those in § 1 ; they attain an average height of a foot aud a 

 half, and they are also more diffusely branched. Among the 

 annual Stocks they are at once distinguishable by their height 

 and more loosely branched appearance. It is to this group that 

 the term " intermediate," applied to several distinct forms, seems 

 properly to belong. The variety cjilled "White Branching" 

 proved to be remarkably fine ; certainly one of the finest in the 

 collection. The most worthy of notice in this group, of which 

 there is also a " large-flowered" subsection, were — 



(fi) Flowers ofnsnal or average size. 



" Victoria Scarlet " (Turner) : very high coloured rosy- 

 carmine. It is suggested that the terra "scarlet" should 

 be altogether discontinued, in describing this class of 

 colours, and the word " crimson" substituted. 



" Bright Crimson Branching " (Carter) : bright rosy crimson. 



" White Branching " (Carter) : very pure and fine. 



" Light Blue " (Carter) : pale purple or bluish-lilac. 



(b) Flowers above average size. 



" Neiv Pyramidal Scarlet " (Turner), the same as " Light 

 Carmine Branching" (Carter): light rose-colour.
