TYPES AND VARIETIES 189 



within the past two or three years. There 

 are other varieties that can be grown to 

 creditable exhibition quality, but few if any 

 will prove superior to the varieties specified 

 in their respective colours, or in open classes. 

 They possess, when properly developed, quali- 

 ties of size, substance, colour, stem, and foliage 

 to place them among the winning exhibits. 



Alice Lemon, soft pink. 



Beatrice May, white, Jap. inc. A massive bloom, when grown from 



crown bud, which may be taken as early as August isth. 

 Col. D. Appleton, yellow, Jap. inc. Massive blooms from crown 



buds. Lack of gracefulness is its only fault. 

 Yellow sport from Mrs. J. A. Miller, light yellow.

variety that will produce enormous blooms if early crown 



buds are taken. Propagate early. 



Mrs. O. H. Kahn, bronze, Jap. inc. A splendid variety.
