The number in ( ) behind each variety, indi¬ 
cates the page on which we list it. This list does 
not mean that varieties not mentioned are inferior. 
We think, for instance, that well grown Mrs. F. 
Pendleton or Mad. Monet Sully beat any blotched 
variety. We greatly prefer Albania to Albatross, 
for usefulness. The list indicates a preference 
“trend" of the gardening public; a vote by florists 
would, of course, show an entirely different list.
