STOPPING and TIMING KEY 
After the name of each variety you will see a letter: these indicate, on re- 
ference to the Key below, the correct stopping. It has been divided into two 
periods, plants rooted before the end of February, and plants rooted after the 
end of February. Therefore, the first capital letter will refer to the first period, 
and the following one in brackets will refer to the second period, that is, rooted 
after the end of February. We think that this will assist those who have later 
struck plants, and enable them to get satisfactory exhibition flowers with 
them. It must, of course, be realized that all stopping keys are only a general 
guide, and that variations occur each season and in different parts of the 
country.

The foregoing Stopping and Timing is that being used in England. We
