VARIETIES FOR MARKET GARDENERS 



like to impress upon the grower is that it is no use 

 expecting best results if the seed is planted late in the 

 spring, for to secure a long flowering season the roots 

 must have made good growth before warm weather 

 sets in. 



As the best prices are obtained from flowers bunched 

 in one color, it is advisable to sow named varieties, 

 and if only six varieties are wanted to start with, we 

 recommend the following as being as good as any for 

 this class of trade: 



Nora Unwin White 



Mrs. H. Dickson Apricot pink 



Countess Spencer Rich pink 



King Edward Spencer Crimson 



Florence Nightingale Lavender 



Margaret Madison Light blue 



Or a more extended list might be made from the 

 following:
