ing. Get a dozen of that deep crimson wonder 

 "Achanti" and astound your friends. Try also 

 " Demi-Deuil " a fine thing in two shades of purple ; 

 "Eclipse/' deep crimson and cream; and "Marc 

 Micheli," pale lilac and violet. A hundred corms of 

 "Marie Lemoine," pale yellow with crimson -blotch, 

 are good for cutting from, and others of the Lemoine 

 hybrids will attract you if you study a catalogue of 

 them. G. Nancianus was also raised by M. Lemoine 

 at Nancy out of G. Saundersii. These are huge, but 

 rather coarse to my taste. G. Childsii is a traveller. 

 It went to America, and returned with the name of a 

 great grower there. Some are rather grand, such as 

 "Mohonk," "Boston," &c. The monarch of all 

 hybrids is Herr Max Leichtlin's beauty, " Princeps " 

 a brilliant scarlet cross between gandavensis and 

 cruentus. These, of course, are but a handful of 

 what you may possess.
