Naturally there would be a large number named in tins class, 

 as it presents such an opportunity to include all sections, the 

 subject of decorative varieties having such a wide interpretation 

 that it would be difficult to obtain anything like unanimity in 

 this classification. Forty-two voters, in naming 178 varieties, came 

 to the conclusion that Lady Selborne and Mrs. G. Rundle were 

 entitled to the leading position with twenty-eight votes each ; 

 while Mrs. Dixon and Elaine, two sterling varieties, run the 

 others exceedingly close. It will not be denied, I think, that the 

 fo-ur -mentioned are good for the purpose here required. From 

 the sixty-five sorts noted a capital selection could be made.
