326 BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 



the season. This is certainly one of the finest of all the bedding 

 Zonals. 



Phyllis. Rosy salmon, single flowers. 



Swanky Single White. The name describes this excellent 

 variety. 



In addition to the above singles we feel constrained to mention 

 those favourites of former days, Vesuvius and West Brighton 

 Gem, if only as a matter of sentiment, although we think that 

 both are inferior to the modern Paul Crampel. Vesuvius was the 

 great bedding scarlet of the old-time bedders, and West Brighton 

 Gem was a sport from it with pale flower stalks and stems. They 

 are still as bright as any, but are surpassed in size of truss by 

 newer varieties. Surprise may also be mentioned ; it is a salmon- 

 coloured form of Vesuvius. Other good salmons are Mrs. Robert 

 Cannell and Omphale, other pinks Cannell's Pink and Olive Carr. 



Double Henry Jacoby. This is a double variety of the old 

 favourite crimson. 



F. V. Raspail. A popular scarlet double, free blooming. 



Hermione. One of the best of the double whites. 



King of Denmark. A good double salmon. 



Ville de Poictiers. Double scarlet. 



We have selected the above varieties, both in the case of singles 

 and doubles, because they are all of suitable habit for bedding; 

 but any reader who has a favourite round-flowered single which he 

 has been growing under glass may try it out of doors if he likes. 

 Plants that have bloomed under glass in winter or spring may 

 be planted out of doors in May if desired. 



FOLIAGE ZONALS 



Mr. Henry Cox. A Golden Tricolor, with crimson zone ; one 

 of the best.
