234. U.U.A. Jewel or Ball— (l) Apple-blossom; (2) Deep I4o.se; 
(3) Rote with White — Three very handsome varieties obtained from the 
well-knosvn large flowered Pieony Perfection tribe. Similar, but. somewhat 
dwarfer in habit than the latter, it distinguishes itself at first sight by its 
beautiful, shorter-petalled, and perfectly round flowers, which may be com- 
pared to the finest varieties of the incurved class of Chrysanthemum. The 
fully-developed flowers are ns round as a ba'l very useful for cutting and 
bunching. Each colour separate. l}f ft. I’cr pkt., l.s. Mi.xed, l.v. per pkt.
