Variegated sorts— Continued 
Scarlet and Crimson 
America A crimson-scarlet, irregularly striped variety, running to nearly 
solid color along the suture in the standards, the white ground 
showing most toward either side. Wings clear carmine, 
striped. Form old type; medium large; explanate standards. 
Inclined to run to Queen of the Isles, from which it is a selection. 
The better blooms are attractive, but America must be carefully 
grown to distinguish it from the parent stock, which is more 
evenly marked. A good grower and bloomer. 
Daybreak Standards old type, with more or less prominent notch in apex; 
of good size, broad and explanate, with delicate veinings of bright 
scarlet lake and carmine finely woven into narrow, wavy rays, 
and set one above the other; ground white, and most exposed 
along the margin. Reverse side of standard more intense and 
with less detail. Wings white, penciled with carmine toward the 
inner edges. A vigorous, upright grower, bearing good stems, 
usually three, sometimes only two-flowered. A free bloomer. 
Red and Form and size similar to ^;«fr;V<r, but a more distinctly striped 
White Striped variety — crimson-scarlet on white ground. Stems usually three- 
flowered. One of the most profuse bloomers. Very vigorous. 
Queen of 
the Isles 
Old type, red and white variegated, varying considerably in 
the intensity of its markings, — some flowers benig very finely and 
closely striped and spattered, others delicately penciled, pro- 
ducing the " watered " effect found in Daybreak, and some again 
being deeply blotched and striped, as in America. The reverse 
of standard heavily clouded; wings but lightly striped. A good 
grower and free bloomer. A superfluous variety. 
Tricolor 
*Colombia 
A tricolored variegated variety, odd and attractive in its 
markings. Standards crimson-rose striped on white ground. 
Wings pale bluish-mauve striped on white ground. Well 
(ormed old type, of medium size. A medium vigorous grower; 
free flowering. Worthy of a place in every large collection, 
because of its interesting shadings.
