 petition with many other collections. 



Aegir . The petals, which are tubular or quilled, are twisted 

 and arranged in the most fantastic yet regular form, giv- 

 ing the flower a most unique and pleasing appearance ; 

 in color it is a rich, warm cardinal scarlet. 



Austin Cannell. Entirely distinct on account of its long, 

 narrow, twisted tubular petals, giving the flower a pecu- 

 liar clean cut appearance. It is of a light crimson rose 

 shading lighter towards the edges. 



Charles Woodbridge. A magnificent variety of a light 

 crimson shaded purple. 



P. Bartels. Well built flowers of medium size, of a 

 bright scarlet, when first opening showing a violet shade.

 improvement on all others of this type.

 golden sheen, a flower of immense size.

 yet introduced ; it is of true Cactus form, the outer petals 

 are of a soft La France pink gradually shading lighter 

 towards the centre, which is a creamy white. 



Miss Webster. Pure white without a tinge of color, 

 excepting on the reverse of the lower petals, where it is 

 slightly tinged with rose during extreme hot weather. 



Miss Annie Nightingale. Outer petals broad and flat, 

 inner petals curled and twisted, occasionally showing a 

 single centre which, however, does not detract from the 

 flower, but rather adds to its graceful, unique appear- 

 ance ; color clear yellow flaked and heavily edged with 

 scarlet. 



Mabel Keith. Petals narrow and twisted, of a buflf 

 color, suffused with soft pink shading to creamy yellow 

 centre.
