each group specific recognition. We retain here our purples and deep

Pinelle a most striking and magnificent dark wine-purple with a warm 
infusion of deeper purple. The flowers are huge, the stalk stout and 
branched, the falls rich and velvety with a blackish lustre, the stands 
pleasingly dark—it is one of Mons. Cayeux’s best. 
Magenta is very distinct in color—a rich, bright, smooth ame-
