Horticultural Colour Chart: In certain sections of this catalog, we have 
added to the regular description of a variety some numbers and words in 
italics. These refer to color blocks in the Horticultural Colour Chart which many 
of our customers have secured either from us or from the Royal Horticultural 
Society direct. To visualize the exact color of the flower thus described, refer 
to your copy of the Colour Chart, turn to the page mentioned, mask the color 
block with the black mat provided and you will see the exact shade of the 
variety. For instance, Larkspur Stock Flowered Rosamond is described as 625 
shaded 623. These page numbers will be found in the upper right hand 
corner of each sheet in bold face type. 625 is the predominating color of the 
bloom with a shading of color 623. Larkspur Stock Flowered Rose Queen, 
similar to Rosamond, is described as 623/1 and 623. These two color tones will 
be found on page 623, block 623/1 being a slightly lighter tone of the full color 
623, both of which very similar colorings are found in this variety. We have 
been able to compile fairly complete color recordings of several flower varie¬ 
ties. We believe that by this method you will be able to visualize the colors of 
the several varieties much more vividly than any word description can do.
