description of this would be "A Spencer Jeannie Gordon." But 

 it is a larger, bolder, and more substantial flower than Jeannie 

 Gordon ; indeed, it is one of the most massive and imposing 

 varieties yet introduced. The flowers are of huge size, and full 

 of substance. The remarkably broad, deep standard is a prominent 

 feature. The waving is not considerable, but is clearly marked. 

 The standard is a beautiful soft rose, the wings pale blush, or they 

 might be described as cream overlaid with delicate rose. The flowers 

 come in threes and fours. (First class certificate.) 



Mrs. Henry Bell (R. Bolton, Warton, Carnforth). The colouring 

 of Sutton's Queen will give an idea of the hues of this lovely 

 variety. It is cream, broadly bordered with pink. The rosy border 

 descends deeply into the heart of the standard. The flower is well 

 waved, and is disposed in a bold and striking manner on the stem. 

 Threes are plentiful. There is abundance of substance in the 

 bloom. The variety is exquisite in both form and marking, and 

 cannot fail to become highly popular. (First class certificate.) 



Constance Oliver (W. Lumley, Dawn Nurseries, Denvilles, 

 Havant, Hants). A charming variety, deep pink in colour, with 

 creamy centre, and beautifully waved. The flowers are large and 

 substantial, and are borne in threes and fours. The colour is a 

 favourite one with the public, and the variety is likely to become 

 very popular alike for market, exhibition, and garden culture.

Paradise Ivory (Miss Evelyn Hemus, Holdfast Hall, Upton-on- 

 Severn). A variety of the all-conquering Spencer type, that is, with 

 large, substantial, waved flowers. The colour is quite distinct from 

 that of the so-called yellows, and is well indicated by the name. 

 The flowers are borne in threes and fours. It is a most pleasing 

 variety, and is sure of a wide constituency of growers. (Award oj 

 merit.)
