White La France (Augustine Guinoisseau) ; Madame 

 Abel Chateney, a carmine which is unusually hard} r ; 

 Madame Jules Grolez, cherry red.

 tles, a light crimson of peculiarly old timey fra- 

 grance; Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford, a gold- 

 medalled pink ; Margaret Dickson, a white of loveliest 

 form; the reliable old white Madame Plantier; the 

 well-known pink Paul Neyron ; Ulrich Brunner, red

 apricot blended with rose; Helen Good, pale yellow 

 and rose; Marie Lambert, cream white; Marie van 

 Houtte, cream tinged with lemon; Papa Gontier,
