208 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



This section produces perhaps a more divided opinion than 

 any other as to what properly constitutes a true Japanese 

 Reflexed flower. No less than seventy-four varieties are named 

 by fifty-nine voters, a pretty clear indication that much difference 

 of opinion exists on the point.

This class was made to obtain a good selection of varieties 

 irrespective of the " Queen" family, as it was felt that the type 

 named most heavily overweighted the smaller, yet perfect sorts of 

 Incurved blooms, this being considered to be the only way to keep 

 these smaller kinds in the front. As this is an interesting class, 

 I have given the names of forty-two varieties. The list shows 

 that there is almost unanimous opinion about the first twelve 

 sorts. Even Eve, the twenty-fourth flower, is well supported in 

 the matter of points by the fifty-nine voters out of the eighty-five 

 sorts named altogether.
