The following varieties are the kind that are generally used for Exhibition purposes in all the Fall Flower 
Shows. Many amateurs are growing the earlier flowering types from this list very successfully in their gardens, 
but we do not guarantee them to be hardy enough to come through the Winter satisfactorily unless extremely 
well protected.
