Howard Gould. This is a spUndid varlrty Tlir (lorets are 



loiii; and cd, and the llout-r builds

 pure deep gokl. The stem is stiff, and the foliage is very handsome. 



A grand white that will displace all 

 our otiier whites on the e.xhibition 

 table. It is .is l.ii^e as Moir. It carries the foliage right up to the 

 flower ; stem absolutely jterfect and when taken on the bud about 

 August 15. produc es a flower that is as near perfection in its color 

 as it is possible to get. Mrs. David Syme lias been certificated in 

 Kngland. has won the gold medal in Australia. 



A splendid flower of the Brook shade of 

 color, a purplecrimson. Unlike Brook's, 

 though, every llowcr rt-lle.\es, showing the llower to the best advan- 

 tage. Habit |)erfect : loliage rigiit up to the flower: stem stiff and 

 of medium height. Crown bud August 20 produced the liest results 

 with us this year. This is a color every e.\hibitor should add to his 

 collection. 



Rose Ellis, l^escrlbed as an improved Lady Hopetown. The 

 ' color is beautiful and the flower enormous, but it 

 can only be recommended to be grown for the short vase or sup- 

 ported classes.

'■ als standing out stiff to show the color 



to the best advantage. This variety is perfect in foliage, which is 

 right up to the flower: stift' stems: grows rather abovi the average 

 height and will imdoubtedly make its mark in the crimsons. Any 

 bud after August 15 produces a perfect flower. 



^[fS, R. Luxford. '"dian-red, with a gold reverse; dwarf 



' '■ habit. This variety would make an ideal 



pot plant. As grown it does not come large enough to be used for 

 e.xhibition, but buds taken early in August produce very fine flow- 

 ers for cut blooms. The color blends splendidly with autumn foliage 

 when used for decorations. 



An improved Mrs. Knox. Color bright 

 canary-yellow, very broad florets. The 

 outer petals curve and twist round like shavings. 



Kara Dow. chestnut, with a bronze reverse.

 " my finest crimson." The color is not 



so intense as I^ockett's Crimson, but the flower is very much larger.

actual measurement, was 4s inches in circumference, and it was
