 to 42 inches. Flowers short-spurred, in various shades of blue. 

 May 25.

23. canadensis ' Turk's Cap ' (Barr), XXX May 26, 1914. — 12-15 

 inches ; stems ribbed, reddish ; leaves deep green, often reddish ; 

 flowers pendulous, small, orange-scarlet ; sepals scarlet ; petals 

 small, scarlet, with bright lemon-chrome throat ; spurs half sepals

 plant, very well suited to the rockery. May 25.

 exceeding 24 inches in height, and bearing pale double flowers on a 

 loose inflorescence. May 25.

14. coerulea (Barr), F.C.C. May 16, 1865. — 18-24 inches. Very 

 variable stock, ranging from almost pure white to entirely blue flowers.

22. coerulea (R. Veitch), F.C.C. May 16, 1865. — 15-20 inches ; 

 stem reddish, pubescent ; flower 2J inches in diameter ; sepals broad, 

 lavender-violet ; petals open, spreading, white with distinct veins ; 

 spurs almost straight, exceeding the sepals and of the same colour.

 1914. — 18-36 inches. A strain with long-spurred flowers of various 

 delicate, white, rose, and blue shades, although few have broad sepals. 

 May 24. 



37. coerulea hyhrida ' Mrs. M. Nicholls ' (R. Veitch). — A pretty 

 form of coerulea having light wistaria violet sepals and white petals 

 tinged with blue. Stock requires further selection. May 25. 



34. coerulea ' White Lady ' (Barr), XX May 26, 1914. — 18-24
