blooms  themselves  were,  as  a  rule,  of  indifferent  quality. 
It  is  not,  however,  so  much  to  this  year’s  indifferent  form  of 
Mrs.  John  Laing  that  I  now  wish  to  direct  attention  as  to  the 
likelihood,  amounting  almost  to  a  certainty,  that  in  a  few 
years’  time,  if  not  next  year,  it  will  no  longer  head  the  list 
of  Hybrid  Perpetuals  and  Hybrid  Teas.  For  nine  consecu¬ 
tive  years  this  grand  H.P.  has  occupied  virtually  un¬ 
challenged  the  premier  place  in  the  table,  but  in  the  present 
analysis  the  splendid  record  of  a  new  H.T.,  Bessie  Brown, 
makes  it  highly  probable  that  that  variety  will  shortly  take 
its  place.  This  year,  Bessie  Brown,  although  only  now  begin¬ 
ning  to  be  grown  by  many  exhibitors,  was  to  be  met  with 
HYBRID  PERPETUALS  AND  HYBRID  TEAS.
