Saltmarsh, Joseph Ashby, James Vick, Flag of Truce, Vice-President, 
and several other well-known kinds. 
There are five 1886 varieties in the list. Of these Harry Keith now 
•occupies a splendid position, standing as it does only second to the 
premier flower—Mrs. Gladstone. Next come Mrs. W. Slack and R. T. 
llawlings, both at No. 8, the former having gained two and the latter 
no fewer than thirteen places since last year. Mr. Glasscock (No. 44) 
has made a slight move upwards, while Thomas Hobbs has fallen from 
No. 26 to No. 33. 
The year 1887 was prolific as regards new varieties. At the head of 
■these, at No. 9, we find Colonist, and a little lower down J. T. West 
(No. 14), almost immediately followed by Willie Garratt. Then in the 
following order come Queen of the Belgians (No. 29), Crimson King 
(No. 32), Mrs. G. Rawlings (No. 40), Bendigo and Eclipse (No. 42). 
Colonist and Willie Garratt have each made good progress since last 
year, while Crimson King, Mrs. G. Rawlings and Eclipse have all more 
or less improved on their former positions. 
The following appear for the first time in the analysis. Purple 
Prince and Nellie Cramond, both of which came out in 1888, already 
stand at No. 20 and No. 29 respectively, while Maud Fellowes, an 1889 
variety, just manages to secure a place.
