ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PLANTS 241 
The old scarlet brenchlyensis is always reliable, though in size it is 
now far exceeded by the newer sorts. 
Gandavensis have a blotch on the petal. Childsii and Lemoinei 
are beautiful, self-coloured varieties. G. Colvillii are for forcing ; 
and namus , the dwarf kind, can also be gently forced. 
These are all the old varieties, and can be bought quite cheaply ; 
but an entirely new race has been raised, and the size of the flowers 
is incredible. It appears they are coming very much into fashion, 
and the price of some of the new kinds is as much as ^io, ios. each.
