58 BRITISH FLORAL DECORATION 



nearly all of them are produced on strong stems, 

 many of them over two feet long, and they can 

 therefore be used in a cut state for decorations on 

 almost any scale of magnitude. 



*Lady Hermione. This is one of the finest Border Carnations 

 ever raised, its colour being rosy salmon and exactly 

 the shade of " The Leander " Rowing Club's colours. 



*Miss Willmott. A perfect shape, but not quite so large as 

 Cardinal. Very robust. 



*Daffodil. Undoubtedly the best yellow. 



*Pasquin. A " fancy " of great beauty and fine constitution.

Cardinal. A glorious colour, and a perfectly formed flower. 

 ^Elizabeth Shiffner. This is a revelation in colour, and I 

 think if I had room for one Carnation only it would 

 be this. 



*Duchess of Wellington. A lovely deep mauvish lavender. 

 W. H. Parton. Perhaps the most perfect self Carnation from 

 an exhibitor's point of view that has ever been sent out. 

 Rony Buchanan. A warmth of colouring difficult to 



describe. 



*Mrs. George Marshall. The finest crimson I have ever 

 seen. If a Tree Carnation as good as this could be 

 raised it would be worth a small fortune. 

 Benbow. Still worth a place in all collections. 

 *Mrs. Robert Morton. A rich warm apricot colour. 



Ivo Sebright. A charming and unique fancy. 

 * Ellen Douglas. A sweetly pretty pale lilac, tinged with grey. 

 * Helen Countess of Radnor. A gigantic flower but a little 

 coarse.
