December 13, 1894. 
little short of marvellous, and as yet there appears no sign what¬ 
ever of its abatement. For instance, of the leading twenty-four 
varieties given above only Sunflower, Etoile de Lyon, Avalanche, 
Edwin Molyneux, Mrs. F. Jameson, and Stanstead White are more 
than four years old, and even of these few veterans, for so they 
might almost be styled, considering the youthful character of 
their fellows, not a single one dates back more than eight years- 
In fact, in the whole table of Japanese varieties there are only 
two—Boule d’Or and Yal d’Andorre—which have been out ten 
or more years. 
As regards the so-called “ veterans ” of which I have complete 
records since they were first distributed, Edwin Molyneux, only a 
few years ago the leading Jap, has gradually lost ground at the 
last four exhibitions, but nevertheless still manages to hold its own 
fairly well among the giants. Again, Avalanche was as frequently 
staged this year as at the previous show, and Etoile de Lyon as 
frequently as at the two preceding exhibitions. Sunflower, too, 
has also lost comparatively little ground, but how it will fare when 
brought into competition with some of the more recent yellows 
remains to be seen. Mrs. F. Jameson, owing no doubt to its 
unique colour, still remains as popular as ever, while Stanstead 
White was as often shown this year as last, but less frequently than 
at the three previous exhibitions. 
INCURVED 
I have often before directed attention to the contrast between 
the more conservative incurved and the revolutionary Japanese, 
therefore I need now only give one more example. Ihe average 
age of the first twenty-four incurved in the table is eighteen 
years, whereas a similar number of Japs average only three 
years. 
As to the other sections I have, as usual, arranged below select 
lists of the leading kinds in these. They are arranged according to 
their average records at the last six or fewer exhibitions, as the 
case may be. The few varieties marked with an asterisk are new 
to the analysis.
