Lady Cowper ( Francis).—Dwarf and compact; flowers light scarlet, white 
in the eye. Too near to Waltham Pet. 
Lady Rokeby * (Bull).—Moderately vigorous habit; flowers light scarlet, 
in fair trusses. This proved good as a pot plant, but not so good as a bedder. 
Le Zouave (Van Houtte).—Vigorous habit ; flowers large, very bright 
scarlet, but not sufficiently numerous in the truss. 
Little David (Low & Co.).—Very similar to Little Major, and, like it, 
suitable for small beds, or for edgings. 
Little Major * (Turner).—Dwarf habit: flowers light scarlet. This variety 
maintained its previous character as a good dwarf bedder. 
Major Domo (Bull).—Moderately vigorous ; flowers light scarlet. A fine 
bold plant for pot culture.

flowers of good form, very bright orange scarlet. 
Palastro (Salter).—Dwarfish habit; leaves lobed; flowers dull orange 
scarlet. 
Punch * (Fraser, Turner).—Vigorous habit; flowers large in bold ample 
trusses, bright scarlet, and very showy. The best of the large-growing plain¬ 
leaved scarlets in the whole collection. 
Red Dragon (W. Paul).—Vigorous habit ; leaves faintly green-zoned ; 
flowers very rich deep scarlet, in compact trusses, and of good form. The 
deepest coloured scarlet in the whole collection.

loose, light scarlet. Not adapted for beds.

not equal to Trentham Scarlet.

Stella (Dixon).—Dwarf habit; flowers of a deep rich scarlet, as in Red 
Drairon, but not effective.

good trusses, free. One of the best of the dwarfer-growing scarlets for bedding 
purposes.

scarlet, of good shape, with a small white eye. A good dwarf bedder. 
2. FLOWERS CERISE OR ROSY SCARLET. 
Beaute de Meldoise (Fraser).—Very similar to Lady Middleton, and too

distinct in colour. 
Viceroy (Bull).—Vigorous habit; flowers large, rosy scarlet.

and of large size. It was of indifferent quality as grown in pots. 
3. FLOWERS ROSE PINK.

in the first rank of bedding varieties.
