April 14,1887. ] JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND I COTTAGE GARDENER. 285 
After a season such as that of last year, which was generally con¬ 
sidered a very unfavourable one for the proper development of the 
blooms of many varieties in this section, it may be interesting to com- 
pare the relative positions held by some of the leading kinds at the two 
exhibitions. For instance, Jeanne d’Arc, which in 1886 was more fre¬ 
quently shown than any other kind, stood in the previous analysis no 
higher than No. 6. Again, Lord Wolseley has risen four places as com¬ 
pared with its position in 1885, Nil Desperandum seven places, Prince 
Alfred three {daces, Cherub six places, and Golden George Glenny as 
many as fourteen places. On the other hand, Empress of India no 
longer occupies the premier position, having to give way as before 
stated, to Jeanne d’Arc ; while Lord Alcester loses five, Mr. Bunn two, 
Lady Hardingc three, Hero of Stoke Newington four, and Refulgens ten 
places. In making these comparisons it should be clearly understood 
that no reference is here made to the positions accorded to the different 
varieties in the above list, these positions being regulated by the total 
number of times they were staged at the two exhibitions taken together. 
exhibition. On the other hand, there are many kinds which do not take 
such good positions as they did at the preceding show. For example, 
Criterion loses twelve places, Monsieur Ardene thirteen ]>laces, Agre- 
ments de la Nature no less than twenty-one places, Dr. Macary thirteen, 
and L’Incomparable fourteen places. 
The best of the 1883 varieties, judging by their positions at last year's 
exhibition, come out as follows :—Monsieur Astorg (No. 7), Flamme de 
Punch (No. 16), Monsieur Tarin (No. 21), Dormillon (No. 22), Roseum 
superburti (No. 23), Monsieur Henry Jacotot (No. 25), and Margot (No. 26), 
while whose sent out in 1884 arrange themselves in the following order : 
—Fernand Fdral (No. 16), Monsieur John Laing (No. 20), Madame de 
SAvin (No. 21), and L’Incomparable (No. 28). Among the more recently 
introduced may be named L’Adorable (No. 20), Mdlle. Paule Dutour, 
Souvenir d’Angele Amiel, and notably Maiden’s Blush, which, as before 
mentioned, taking its 1886 form alone, already stands No. 18 on the list. 
The leading varieties in the reflexed section place themselves in order 
of merit as follows :—Cloth of Gold, Cullingfordi, King of Crimsons,

The most noticeable feature in the above analysis is the prominent 
position taken up by Madame C. Audiguier, this tine flower having been 
at the two exhibitions shown in twenty-two more stands than any other 
variety. Taking the two shows separately and comparing them, we 
find Monsieur Astorg gains three places, Val d’Andorre nine places, 
Triomphe de la Rue des Chalets eight, Boule d’Or three, Fernand Feral 
five, and Striata seven places, while Maiden’s Blush, which in the 1885 
analysis did not appear at all, stands as high as No. 18 in last year’s 
Phidias, Chevalier Domage, Christine White. Christine Golden, and 
Felicity, As regards the large Anemones, the following were most 
frequently to be seen in last year’s show :—Empress, Georges Sand, Lady 
Margaret, Acquisition, Gluck, Mrs. Pethers, and Prince of Anemones; 
while the best of the large hybrid Anemone varieties appear to be 
Fabian dc Mediana, Mdlle. Cabrol, and S<eur Dorothee Souille. 
My best thanks are due to Mr. Harman Payne for supplying me with 
the datep and raisers’ names of those Incurved and Japanese varieties
