92 BOOK OF THE CHRYSANTHEMUM 



The Incurves have not been added to in such numbers 

 as the other classes, consequently many of the old types 

 are still cultivated largely. I refer to the Queen family, 

 Queen of England, Empress of India, Lord Alcester, and 

 Golden Empress, Mr Bunn, deep yellow. The out-of- 

 date Japanese, other than for decorative purposes, would 

 cover a big space. I will enumerate a few, as Mdlle. 

 Lacroise, pure white; Meg Mervilles, sulphur and white; 

 W. Holmes, crimson; Val de Andorre, chestnut orange; 

 Fair Maid of Guernsey ; Peter the Great, lemon ; 

 Mons. Delaux, reddish crimson ; Mons. Astorg, silvery 

 white with blush centre ; Ralph Brocklebank, primrose 

 yellow ; Boul d'Or, rich yellow ; Fernand Feral, rosy- 

 mamte ; Mdme. C. Audiger ; Mons. Freeman ; Edwin 

 Molyneux, and a host of others. All these were 

 favourites of the first water in their day, and now but 

 few of them will be found in growers' lists.
