group owing to its habit of yielding bunches 

 of buds and blossoms that hang as it were 

 like clusters of hazel nuts, the latter being

In another column the flowers are described 

 and these are classified into five degrees. 



1. Single— contains only one circle of 



petals. 



2. Semi-double— two or three circles of 



petals. 



3. Double— many circles of petals, but ex- 



posing a good number of anthers at 

 the centre. 



4. Very double — many circles of numerous 



petals, with a deep centre having 

 some anthers in it. 



5. Full— thick and compact arrangement 



of petals, with no anthers or opening 

 space at the centre. 

 Then the forms of the flowers are also des- 

 cribed and are as follows : — 



(o) Globular —distinguished by its in- 

 curved nature of petals arranged so 

 that the flower looks like a globe. 



(b) Cupped— the outer petals are broad 

 and high while the inner petals de- 

 crease in size, making the flower look 

 like a cup. 



(c) Compact— the petals arranged evenly. 



(d) Imbricated— the petals are regularly 

 bent back upon each other leaving a 

 " pip " in the centre. 



(e) Expanded— these are synonymous and 

 explain themselves. 



(/) Flat-
