MYOSOTIS AT WISLEY, 1917. 
One hundred and one stocks of Myosotis were received for trial at 
Wisley in 1916. They were sown outdoors in July and transplanted 
to their permanent quarters 12 x 15 in. apart as soon as large 
enough. A considerable number failed to germinate, viz. Nos. 4, '6, 
13, 19, 22, 26-29, 3i» 36, 37> 40-42, 44, 60, 61, 68, 69, 73-75, 78, 89, 
98 ; and of some others but few plants were secured. These are noted 
below. The winter of 1916-17 was very severe, but almost all stood 
well and flowered freely in May. In the few cases where damage was 
done by the winter cold note is made below. 
The Floral Committee examined the trial on May 17 and made 
the following recommendations for awards :
