247. Sulphurea (/. Grieve. — Dobbie), A.M. June 5, 1913.— This

 size and of a lovely pale sulphur-yellow colour, deepening in the lower 

 petal, where it approaches primrose-yellow. They are rayless and have 

 crinkled margins. One of the most striking features of this variety is 

 the exceptional freedom with which it blooms. All the plants carried 

 on an average well over forty flowers and buds. The period of flower- 

 ing extends over a very long season. Height 7 inches.
