FOR BEDDING 
Each year on the basis of reports from customers, as well as from 
our own flowering trial reports, we revise our recommended list 
of 10 best varieties. It should be noted that this list does not in- 
clude five of the finest bedding types listed on the opposite page— 
we have placed these varieties in a “class by themselves.”
