JOURNAL  OR  HORTICULTURE  AND  COTTACE  GARDENER. 
October  14,  1897. 
It  is  remarkable  to  notice  in  scanning  the  performances  of  the 
different  H.P.’s,  as  set  out  in  a  fable  I  have  drawn  up  for  this  and 
other  purposes  of  comparison,  how  certain  seasons  favour,  in  a  rnore 
or  less  marked  degree,  certain  varieties.  Some  sorts  are  much  more 
affected  in  this  way  than  others— for  instance,  Mrs.  John  Laing  has 
consistently  taken  the  lead  of  all  the  other  Hybrid  Peipetuals  at 
HYBRID  PERPETUALS  AND  HYBRID  TEAS.
