188 LIST OF HYBRIDS. 



(Spd. Sedenii x ? X Cpd. Stonei). Johnson, for Statter, 

 Manchester. 0. R.., June, '94. "Just showing for 

 flower; at present it looks much like a plant of Stonei." 

 {Cpd. Spicerianum magnificum ? X Spd. Schlimii). 

 " Would not ripen the seedpod, when the vice versa 

 ripened the seedpod seven months ago, and now shows 

 strong sdlgs." Swinburne, Cheltenham. 0. R., 

 Sept., '94. 



{Cpd. Spicerianum ? x Spd. Sedenii x). Treseder, for 

 Heath, Cheltenham. 2 plants. In litt., Jan., '93. 

 Chapman (for Measures, Camberwell), states in O.R., 

 April, '94, of his efforts, " while numerous capsules have 

 been obtained, no seed has ever been induced to germ- 

 inate." 



R. M. Grey states, in litt., Jan., '94, that he "suc- 

 ceeded in but two instances with raising seedlings, though 

 they did not flower." " Sowed over a hundred pods of 

 seed." 



These are the only cases across which I have come in 

 all my researches, and I took care not to overlook any. 

 I trust my notes will be encouraging to all those who 

 care to leave the well-worn tracks of everybody's vehicles. 

 But, gentlemen, do not let us be fed with such meager 

 notes, when we are troubled with ravenous appetite 

 for information, and the worse so the nearer we think 

 we are getting to the day on which you will appease our 

 greed. Keep track of what you perform, give time em- 

 ployed, and all circumstances developing, and when the 

 hybrid flowers, I trust that the godfathers of the plant 

 of your care will have the moral courage to attach to it 

 the name of its raiser, the successful gardener.
