 between the two above types. It is seen that in the crosses the violet 

 has diminished, while the red has greatly increased and the yellow

Plants in large numbers from these hybrid seeds have been observed 

 this season, and the range in colors is a wide one, no less than thirty- 

 five of those in Prang's list being present. 



Starting with the red end of the spectrum, the number of blooms 

 •examined at two different dates (June 1st and 8th) follows the name 

 .-^iven to the color matched with the flowers.
