ty of bright, lively chamois color, with 

 a faint orange suffusion. Attraction is 

 a liybrid cactus of large size, with a 

 shade of lilac. This is Mr. Michel's 

 ideal style of name. He prefers at- 

 traction, sensation, dazzling, to the 

 habit — may 1 say weakness? — of im- 

 mortalizing one 's sweetheart by giving 

 her name to a new ci-eation. Hortu- 

 lanus, wi.th long stem, a pure white, is 

 an exceedingly fine thing. Dora is red- 

 dish-salmon, deepening toward the cen- 

 ter. Here Mr. Michel commented witli 

 a happy laugli: "The introducer 

 wasn't going to let all the outsiders 

 know exactly Avho his sweetheart 

 might be. He called her Dora, noth- 

 ing more." Twentieth Century has 

 given us a typo tliat is followed by a 

 long line of splendid varieties of sin- 

 gles or semidoubles. Excelsior lias 

 narrow petals, a deep, maroon. Eten- 

 dard de Lyon is six inches in diameter, 

 four inclies deep, a carmine rose or 

 royal purple. Flamingo, rose pink, 

 frequently shows an open center. Red 

 Flamingo lias mammoth flowers, crim- 

 son red in color. Others are Snowflake, 

 single, pure white; Mme. Coissard, 

 crimson, i)assing to a white center; 

 Catherine, primrose yellow; Mrs. 

 Roosevelt, innnense size, delicate sil- 

 very rose; Mondscheibe, yellow, entire- 

 ly distinct from Leo XIII; Thais, pure 

 white, with soft mauve suffusion, 

 which is deposited over the snowy pet- 

 als like dew: Pierrot, amber color, 

 showing white tips, named after a fa- 

 mous French clown because of its comi- 

 cal appearance; Nancy May, a combi- 

 nation of brilliant colors that suggest- 

 ed to Mr. Michel's imaginative mind 

 the idea that the originator must have 

 named it after his colored cook. He 

 explained this to William Engler, the 

 faithful representative of the Florists' 

 Exchange. Mr. Engler gravely intro- 

 duced Mr. Michel to his better half, re- 

 marking that his wife's name is Nancy 

 May. Nothing daunted, Mr. Michel 

 propounded his colored cook theory to 

 the originator of the variety Nancy 

 May. ' ' I named that variety after my 

 wife," was the great hybridizer's an- 

 swer; "her name is Nancy May."

 golden sheen and garnet suffusion; a
