are large, and the long spurs often tinged with rose. The stock re- 

 quired considerable selection. May 23.

 See No. 5.

 cases the sepals are broad. 20-30 inches. May 25.

 long-spurred flowers. The sepals range from rose to amaranth-pink, 

 with white or yellow petals. There are several very pleasing forms, 

 but the stock requires selection. 20-30 inches. May 24. 



9. Rose Queen (R. Veitch). — -Stems reddish, 20 inches; sepals
