Y-*lRIETIES. 151 



GiAXT Naples. — Described as synonymous with 

 Veitch's Autumn Giant, by Yilmorin. in ISS-j, but he 

 now catalogue? i1 as a separate variety, similar to 

 Veitch's Autumn Giant, tut later. It is doubtless 

 the original, of which the Autumn Giant is a 

 slightly improved form. M. May said of Giant 

 Naples, in 1880: "Very similar to Algiers, a little 

 taller stem, and more fully develo^^ed foliage. 

 Highly esteemed in Italy and Algeria. Requires 

 the same culture as Algiers." 



Gilt Edge Early Snowball (Thorburn). — This 

 American variety was reported by the Pennsyl- 

 Tania experiment station in ISbS, as having done 

 well and formed good heads, free from intermixed 

 leaves, where nearly all other sorts failed. "It is a 

 superior selected strain of Early Snowball which 

 originated on Long Island and is of the same type 

 -as the best strain of imported Dwarf Erfurt.*' 

 — (Johnson & Stokes, 1891). 



Grange's Autumn. — A variety mentioned in the 

 Gardener^s Chronicle, in 1870, as earlier and in- 

 ferior to Yeitch's Autumn Giant.

 Weisz, of Vienna, to be an excellent short -stemmed 

 variety for the open ground. 



Haage's Dwarf. — Said by Wolfner and Weisz, 

 of Vienna, to have large, compact heads, which
