STANDARD VARIETIES 85 



The order in which the names are given in each colour 

 is not necessarily that of merit. Those varieties marked 

 with an asterisk are plain, while all the others have more or 

 less waved standards and wings. It may be accepted that, 

 with one or two exceptions, all of these are quite distinct, 

 but those who desire to limit their collection to varieties 

 which are perfectly dissimilar, and to have a representative 

 of each colour group, might do worse than make a start 

 with the following sorts and improve upon it according to 

 their individual tastes : Etta Dyke, King Edward Spencer, 

 John Ingman, Clara Curtis, A. J. Cook, Mrs. Hardcastle 

 Sykes, Chrissie Unwin, Countess Spencer, Mrs. Hugh 

 Dickson, Helen Lewis, Asta Ohn, Menie Christie, Rosie 

 Adams, The Marquis, Black Knight, Evelyn Hemus, Aurora 

 Spencer, Prince Olaf, Sybil Eckford, Mrs. A. Ireland, and 

 Helen Pierce. Practically the whole of these have the 

 additional recommendation of almost complete fixity, so 

 that the grower may feel assured of growing the colours 

 which he anticipates from the descriptions.
