Garden Varieties The garden varieties and hybrids enumerated in 
and Hybrids, the catalogues of growers and florists run into many 
thousands, and no man knows them all. Of many no scientific descrip¬ 
tions have been made, and it is impossible to identify them; many, there 
is good reason for believing, bear several different names, according to the 
fancy of the grower, who cannot always (or often) discover that his new 
hybrid has already been named by an earlier discoverer of it. We can 
only give a selection from the best known kinds, classified according to 
the sections adopted by florists, rather than on scientific linea 
Hybrid Perpetuals.
