FLOWERS SHAPES 
There are several distinct forms or types of these flowers 
and | am endeavoring to simplify their classification by set- 
ting 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, Conway Giant, General 
Garibaldi, Gloria, Hermossimus, Jenkinsonii, Mauvette, 
Orion, Sun Goddess. 
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, Etoile de Contich, 
Lilacinus, La France, 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, Antwerpia Cooperi, Deliciosa, Deutsche 
Kaiserine, Euphrosine, Magnolia, Marie Van Hoorde, 
Martha Knebel, Padre, Red Kaiserine, Roseus Superbus. 
TYPE D 
Same as Type C but whole flower more loosely put to- 
gether giving a less symetrical look or lacey effect. Petals 
often incurving or ball shaped. 
Examples: Paul de Longre (Yellow Stripe), Jules Schlumberger, 
Montezuma, Monte Rosa, Sacuntala, Symphony, Erebus. 
TYPE E 
Very symmetical, wheel-shaped. Petals narrow to medium, 
seldom very wide. 
Examples: Charm, Loebneri, Poinsettia, Strictum, Sunburst, 
- Triump de Entwerd, Flor del Sol. 
TYPE F 
Unique or hard to determine varieties. For temporary 
use only. 
No Examples. 
Type examples are standardized varieties or as we know 
them in our gardens.
