IN THE FRONT YARD. 229 



iDg growers are at fault, and some writers also. Andre 

 Laures has been sent out for it, and other varieties en- 

 tirely at variance, and a recent work on Bulbs is 

 at fault. Yet it is one of the most distinct types of 

 all. It has a foliage peculiar to itself. The color is a 

 rose pink. The petals look as if the color was var- 

 nished into them. It is a large, compact, solid, glori- 

 ous flower, of symmetrical form and cinnamon scented. 

 It ranks among the best, and scores the full five points. 

 This is often confounded with the large M. Valliant. 

 It should probably be called Thorbeckii. 



Ilalseus — Is a French white. It first opens with a 

 pinkish flush, gradually growing lighter. 



Hesperides — Is white, with flesh guard petals. 



Henry Demay — Is a striking and beautiful flower. 

 Light crimson, fine form and symmetrical. 



Hercules — Terry's. Is tall, light rose, tipped white. 



Herman — Terry's. Is a tall, strong grower. Petals 

 broad. Pale, purplish rose, inside straw-tinted. 



Irma — Soft rose, flesh tinted. I secured this from 

 France, and am well pleased with it. 



Ilion— Has white guard petals, and also narrow white 

 center ones. 



Insignis — Described in French catalogue as a grand 

 flower, of brilliant carmine. 



Jeanne d'Arc — Had a slight mention in former bul- 

 letin. We now hasten to do her justice. Some plants 

 do best when the stools have had three or four years 

 in which to become established. Then they burst forth 

 in a very splendor of loveliness. Thus did our Jeanne.
