JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



plants this section provides him with some suitable materials 

 which have a telling effect under good cultivation. Cullingfordii, 

 perhaps the richest colour of any Chrysanthemum in existence, 

 heads the list with sixty-six votes, being closely followed by 

 King of Crimsons, with only one vote less. The first twelve on 

 the list are certainly of the true reflexed character, although 

 Annie Salter perhaps represents the opinions of some growers as 

 to the type which is the more correct ; but as this variety comes 

 a long way down in the voting, we must take the majority of 

 opinions as being correct. Out of the large number of sorts 

 chosen (forty-six) to select twelve from, I have noted twenty- 

 five. Thus it will be seen that twenty-one obtained less than 

 three votes. 



IV. 



The Best Twelve Large-flowered Anemone Varieties 

 for Show Blooms. (50 Voters.) 



Only those which obtained more than two votes are included 

 in this table. 



1. Lady Margaret . 



2. Gluck 



3. Fleur de Marie . 



4. Empress . 



5. Mrs. Pethers 

 5. Acquisition 



7. Georges Sand . 



8. Prince of Anemones 



9. Louis Bonamy . 



10. Miss Annie Lowe 



11. Mme. Goderau . 



12. J. Thorpe, Junior 



13. Grande Alveole . 



14. Emperor . 



No less than forty-five varieties were named by the fifty voters 

 in this class, which shows a surprising result in the number of 

 Show Anemones which can be scraped together when the neces- 

 sity arises. Although some here named as belonging to this 

 section will not perhaps meet with unanimous approval, still it 

 will be conceded that the first twelve do absolutely belong to this 

 section, which, since the introduction of new sorts of decided 

 colour, is fast becoming more popular. There is not the faintest 

 shadow of a doubt but that Lady Margaret occupies her proper 

 position by virtue of merit, Grande Alveole worthily bringing up 

 the rear. As in other classes, the newer kinds suffer for the same 

 obvious reason.
