FLOWER SHAPES 
There are several distinct forms or types of these flowers and 
| am endeavoring to simplify their classification by setting up six 
general classes or types as follows: 
TYPE A 
Very wide opening, broad petaled varieties. Sepals and petals 
seldom number more than 25. Flowers usually very large and more 
or less loosely formed, 
Examples: Adonis, Amber Queen, Gloria, Hermosissimus, Jen- 
kinsonii, Orion. 
TYPE B 
Petals and sepals 25 to 35 more or less. Overlapping and all 
extending forward causing a full effect. Wide opening but not flat, 
nor yet cupped. 
Examples: Bohemienne, Cleopatra, Dante, Majesty, Peacockii. 
TYPE C 
Sepals distinct from petals, radiate outward or backward. Petals 
overlapping forming bell or trumpet giving a cup and saucer effect. 
Examples: Agatha, Deutsche Kaiserine, Magnolia, Marie van 
Hoorde, Roseus Superbus. 
TYPE D 
Same as Type C but whole flower more loosely put together 
giving a less symetrical look or lacey effect. Petals often incurving 
or ball shaped. 
Examples: Paul de Longpre, Jules Schlumberger, Montezuma, 
Symphony. 
Pee e 
Very symmetrical, wheel-shaped. Petals narrow to medium, 
seldom very wide. 
Examples: Charm, Loebneri, Strictum, Sunburst. 
TYPE F 
Unique or hard to determine varieties. For temporary use only.
