JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 
March 22,1894. 
No. 9 to No. 13, while Buffalo Bill on its first appearance takes up 
a position just under it at No. 14. Dandy, No. 20, sent out in 
1891, is also tabulated for the first time. Comedian and Mrs. 
Ocock, distributed in 1892, remain as before at the bottom of the 
table. 
I append as usual select lists of varieties in the other sections of 
the Show. The Pompons have been again arranged very much on 
the same lines as the Shows and Fancies in the table. The changes 
in the Cactus, Decorative ani single Dahlias are, however, so rapid 
that I have thought it better this year to place the different 
varieties according to the number of times they were set up at the 
last Exhibition alone, instead of attempting to arrange them 
according to their average performances at several shows. 
Pompons. —E. F. Junker, Darkness, White Aster (Guiding 
Star), Favourite, Grace, Whisper, Isabel, Phoebe, Admiration^ 
Lady Blanche, Arthur West, Red Indian, Rosalie, Leila, Dora, 
Eva, G. Brinckman, Tommy Keith, Fairy Tales, Mabel, Eurydice, 
Cupid, Gem, and Golden Gem. There are three 1893 varieties on 
the list—Arthur West, Eva, and Tommy Keith. 
Cactus. —Duke of Clarence, St. Catherine, Marchioness of Bute, 
Juarezii, Bertha Mawley, Cannell’s Favourite, Countess of Radnor, 
Delicata, Kynerith, Lancelot, Robert Cannell, Professor Baldwin,

Josephine, and Kaiserin.
