HORTUS VEITCHII 



provided a sufficient number of plants be grown, it is not difficult to have flower 

 throughout the year. This perpetual-flowering property was demonstrated in 

 1897, when at every fortnightly meeting held by the Royal Horticultural 

 Society, throughout that year, a tray of cut blooms from the collection at Chelsea 

 was exhibited. 



Many of the early hybrids, which, on their first appearance, were valued as 

 improvements, have now been discarded in favour of still more highly developed 

 varieties, as King Edward VII., with magnificent bright yellow flowers borne in 

 bold trusses, The Queen, a pure white-flowered form, and Cloth of Gold, pale 

 yellow.
