DRY PEAT MOSS IN BAGS. 
l-bus. bag..........$1 00 

The great soil-building value of Peat Moss has long been recog- 
nized. Unfortunately, express and freight rates have risen to the 
point where raw, wet peat can no longer be shipped. We are glad to again offer perfectly dry, finely granulated 
Peat Moss. When soaked for using, it absorbs several times its weight in water. Transportation costs very small.

Group B. Semi-double—Petals more than seven, usually fourteen to twenty. Donckelari. 
SecTION II. Incomplete Double—Petals numerous with single stamens or fascicles of stamens or both inter- 
mixed forming an irregular mass. 
Group A. Petals large, representing fascicles of stamens. Glotre de Nantes. 
Group B. Petals small—Formed from single stamens or very small fascicles. Elegans (Chandler).

Group C. Tiered—Petals arranged in tiers or rows from flower circumference to center giving a star-like 
effect. Candidissima.

Any system of grouping has value in two directions. It is of use in placing varieties in groups of similar 
forms, thus resolving, mn this instance, a great confused mass of forms into workable sections. It is also 
valuable in staging specimens for exhibition purposes. It must be remembered, however, that many varieties 
are not stable in form. Their flowers do not conform to a uniform pattern. Hence, any classification used 
in staging a Camellia show has application to the exact specimen or specimens in hand; whether the specimen 
is representative of the variety 1s another matter.
