GODETIAS AT WISLEY, 1916. 
Forty-two stocks of Godetias were sent for trial at Wisley. They 
were sown in the open on May 15, thinned out when large enough and 
with the exception of No. 12, ' Sunset ' (R. Veitch), which failed to 
germinate, they all flowered in August. 
No systematic trial of Godetias had been held since 1877. In that 
year a trial of Godetias was made at Chiswick and among the forms 
grown was G. Schaminii, a variety which is probably a form of G. 
rubicunda (Bot. Reg. t. 1856), and one which has entered largely into 
the composition of the garden Godetias of the present day. G. 
Whitneyi was also included in the Chiswick trial. 
The following awards (given in chronological order) have been 
made to Godetias : — 
1870. Oenothera (Godetia) Whitneyi, first collected by Dr. Bolander 
in Shelter Cove, Humboldt County, California, 1867 (Thompson) j
