VARIETIES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS 



'H^< 





Bomb. 



Semi-rose. 



Rose. 



6. BOMB 



In this type the petaloids 

 derived from both carpels and 

 stamens have become much 

 broader, without any crown, but 

 still are clearly differentiated 

 from the guard petals. 



Example: Felix Crousse. 

 (Note colour-plate.) 



7. SEMI-ROSE 



In flowers of this class all the 

 petals are uniformly wide, dif- 

 fering from the full rose type 

 in the presence of a few stamens. 



Example: Asa Gray. (Note 

 colour-plate. ) 



8. ROSE (full-double) 

 This type completes the proc- 

 ess of doubling. All the sta- 

 mens and carpels have developed 

 into petals resembling the guard 

 petals. 



Example: Mme. Lemonier. 

 (Note illustration.)
