growth and is good for specimens. As the name implies, all 

 the florets, which are strap-shaped, curve towards the center, 

 and only the backs of the florets are seen in the most perfect 

 flowers.

 Queen of England, Mrs. Heale, Jeanne d' Arc, Golden Beverly. 



REFLEXED. 



The Reflexed varieties differ chiefly from the incurved by the 

 outward or reflex curve of the floret, so that it is chiefly the 

 inner surface of the floret which is seen. The varieties form- 

 ing this class are vigorous yet compact growers. The flowers 

 are of medium size, more or less spherical in form, and are 

 remarkable for their bright and effective colors. The flowers 

 should be perfectly circular in outline, without a trace of thin- 

 ness in the center, and with broad overlapping florets. The 

 flowers of most of the reflexed varieties are too flat, but are val- 

 uable for their distinct character and rich coloring, while the 

 greater proportion of them make good specimens. 



Reflexed Types.

Annie Salter, Dr. Sharp, Webb's Queen, Temple of Solomon. 



LARGE ANEMONES. 



"The distinctive characteristic of the flowers of this class 

 is their large size, high, neatly formed centers and regularly 

 shaped ray florets. The Large Anemones have two distinct 

 kinds of florets, one the quill, forming the center or disc ; and 

 the other flat and more or less horizontally arranged, form- 

 ing the border or ray florets. In the flowers which most 

 nearly approach perfection, we have broad ray florets, so reg- 

 ularly arranged as to form a circle, and the center hemispher- 

 ical, with no trace of hollowness."
