Of Poets I find Hildegarde one of the best to use as a parent either way. 

 Mrs. Ernst Krelage is giving good seedlings of fine form. 

 Pilgrim is a useful flower to work with ; it gives very large seedlings. 

 Laughing Water is a very good seed parent — its children are very refined 

 and smooth. 



Seedlings from Will Scarlett x Poets, when used as pollen parents on to 

 Poets, give a good percentage of good flowers with very bright eyes. 

 Cleopatra is a useful pollen flower. 

 Van Waveren's Giant is a good seed parent. 



Beacon crossed with Ajax, Giant Incomparabilis, and Leedsii gives some very 

 nice seedlings of good form and substance. 



Bernardino gives good seedlings either way. 

 Empire is a very good parent either way. 

 Lemon Star and Loch Fyne are both useful. 



Mrs. R. Sydenham a good pollen flower, giving very white seedlings — it is 

 best mated with good Giant Leedsii, the effect of which is to shorten the crowns 

 and lengthen the stems ; almost all the seedlings will be Ajax. 



White Emperor promises very well. 



As a stud for a beginner I should recommend the following to start with 

 (they are none of them very expensive now) : — 



King Alfred Laughing Water Lemon Star 



Cleopatra Princess Mary Minnie Hume 



Van Waveren's Giant Pilgrim Hildegarde 



Mme. de Graaff Beacon Matthew Arnold 



Weardale Empire Socrates
