A Typical Spike of Improved Watsonias 



Mr. Burbank's improved Watsonias tend to bear the blos- 

 soms somewhat more compactly than was the custom with their 

 progenitors. This picture shows a fairly typical cluster. Hitherto 

 selection has been directed largely toward the improvement of 

 the colors. It is probable that more marked improvement 

 in other directions will be shown in the future.
