* In this Class, as with the Cottage Tulips, an endeavour has been made to 

 arrange the varieties as they might be in a border, so that they form a colour 

 sequence grading off towards the sections above and below. 



f A well-known variety has been selected in each case as the " type " of the 

 section. It is not necessarily the best, but it provides a name by which its 

 section may be referred to.
