there was nothing to compare with it. First or second crown buds. 7s. Grf. each. 
FRANK CHAPMAN — Rich chestnut bronze ; a large flower, long drooping florets of 
great substance ; a well-finished, handsome, and reliable variety. Stop March for second crown.

large and handsome : must be second crowns. Ileight 5 ft. 2s. Grf. each.

valuable ns a late flowering variety. Plants 3s. Grf. each.

the most striking novelty of the season, ^he bloom is large and massive, having a brilliant velvety

shoot to next break and secure second crowns. Height 4 ft. Gs. each.

broad, and slightly pointed at the end, building a heavy massive-looking flower of great breadth and
