258 REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE ON GENETICS, 
(ce) Here we have a like result to (c) between crispwm ‘ Queen 
Empress’ and crispum ‘ Victoria Regina’ (the former a grand rosewm, the 
latter a good spotted form); one well blotched seedling, ‘ William 
Stevens,’ the others all reverted. (Fig. 82.) 
(f) Again very similar results; crispwm rosewm x c. heliotropium, 
produces rosy ground and a few small spots, no heavily marked ones. 
(g) crispum x crispum, both blotched forms : nothing has yet appeared 
herefrom worth calling attention to; a similar result to all the previous 
ones. 
(h) crispwm x c. * Rossendale,’ one unspotted seedling. 
These eight results, all unsatisfactory from a commercial point of 
view, distinctly prove reversion, and blotched crispums have at present

hardly been raised. Parallel evidence is abundant in O.'ardentissimum, 
scores of which are unspotted and of bad form, infinitely worse than 
either parent. O.eximiwm also proves the same, even though it is the 
result of a fine ardentissimum crossed by a fine blotched crispwm. 
It will be extremely interesting to see the results from such crosses as 
crispum Graireanum x Ashworthianum, Cooksonie x Luciani, and 
other heavily blotched and coloured varieties; if these produce unspotted 
forms (as I am firmly convinced they will) then reversion needs no further 
proof, and blotched crispums will still remain a difficult commodity to 
produce in quantity.
