with every advance made by the hybridisers. 

 ^ Speaking of hybrids I met a wonderfully clever 

 amateur gardener recently who told me that five 

 years ago she thought a hybrid was some kind of a 

 snake and, will you believe it? she now under- 

 stands the delicate and thrilling art of hybridising 

 and has the best and most comprehensive col- 

 lection of delphiniums I have ever seen. She has a 

 seedling delphinium of her own that is to be 

 named Trinity. It is almost a pink with a clouding 

 of blue, the flowers are very large and of a forma- 

 tion entirely new.
