NOTE. We use this heading to call your attention to 
varieties we find of special value for winter and spring 
sowing. This list is based on our trial ground experience, 
and on what we have noted in our travels about Europe 
and America. Necessarily, a list of the best must include 
some standard varities as well as novelties. We trust 
you will go over this list with the same care we used in 
making it.

are nondateral, producing 6-8 flowers per plant. Color, a pleasing 
light or azure blue, a good market color. Tr. PTct. 50c; Yi oz.
