POGONIRIS—GARDEN VARIETIES 
Duly allowing for personal preferences and special conditions, we have 
found all the varieties offered in the present list which we have had long 
enough for fair testing to be worth growing for one reason or another. 
Varieties having the names printed in capitals are in a way specialties of 
ours, and of these we have developed a particularly fine stock. These are all 
highly recommended. 
Varieties marked with an asterisk are mostly quite new sorts of which we 
have only very limited stocks as yet. 
We are shortening the description of many of the older varieties in order 
to make room for the more lengthy notices required of the newer ones. 
More detailed descriptions can be found in the publications of the A. I. S., 
as well as in our older catalogues, some of which are still available for those 
who care to send postage for the mailing.
