Rose 
Mrs. Joseph Of extra fine form and large size, possessing all the best 
Chamberlain qualities of habit, etc. Color, white ground, heavily striped and 
flalced with deep, clear rose; of good substance; varies sliglitly in 
strength of markings, some flowers being more heavily striped than 
others. Stems extra long, three or four-flowered, and finely 
arranged. The deep rose tint in the calyx and pedicel adds much 
to the general harmony of color. One of our most vigorous 
growers and profuse bloomers; blooming season long. 
Mikado A selection from Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, and has many points 
in common with that variety. Markings just the reverse of 
Chamberlain — that is, deep rose predominates — presenting the 
appearance of rose ground with white stripes, rather than white 
ground with rose stripes. This variety must become thoroughly 
fixed before it will be generally approved. 
Gaiety Was classed high among the striped varieties previous to the 
advent of Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain. IMuch lighter than Chamber- 
lain in effect, because of scantiness of stripes which are bright, 
rosy lilac, most prominent in center of standard and almost lost 
toward the side margins; ground white, stems long and stifl!", three 
or four-flowered. 
Pink 
Ramona Has proven itself worthy of high rank; a large, perfectly- 
formed flower, of fine substance and attractive markings, which 
closely resemble Duchess of York, of which it is probably a 
hooded form. It appears thoroughly fixed, the fault with Duchess 
of York being its inclination under certain influences to run to an 
almost pure white. Color, creamy white ground, delicately 
striped and barred with soft pinkish purple, these markings more 
prominent in some blooms than in others. Stems long and strong, 
three or four-flowered. A vigorous grower and profuse bloomer. 
Duchess Stands high, though it lacks the hooded form now so popular. 
of York It h^is perhaps the broadest expanse of standard of any variety, 
specimens measuring forty millimeters in diameter at the broadest 
point. Color, creamy white gromid, delicately flaked and striped 
with soft pinkish-purple. Elegant and refined. Stems long and 
strong, usually three-flowered. A good grower and free bloomer.
