igo7. The American Florist. 593 Mrs. G. A. Lotze.—In growtli, all that could be desired. Was certificated last year, October 27, but most of our plants will not flower so early. Several plants have gone blind and others were slow in setting bud. This defect may be due to culture. Would suggest not very rich soil for best results; pure white. Mrs. John Fries.—Said to flower Oc- tober 15, but no color in sight, October 7. Good clean growth, wood red; 6 feet; yellow ; Bonnaffon type. Chas. Razer.—Clean growth; 5 feet; -very promising incurved white. Dakoma.—Early buds bursting, but do not expect them to give blooms of the chestnut-brown that the later buds will. Clean growth, 4-6 feet, according to date bud was taken. Ceramec.—Cream colored sport from The Queen; same clean growth as par- ent. Domoto Bros, sent out in 1896, Gov. Budd, described as a lemon yellow- sport from The Queen. Who can vouch for their distinctiveness? Comoleta.—Bright yellow, ready to cut October 15. Dwarf habit and ex- cellent in other respects. FOREIGN VARIETIES. Mile. Jeanne Rosette.—Too late to comment on at this writing. Very free and clean in growth, no indication of disease. From present indications, will not be ready to cut before Thanksgiv- ing; pink. Pres. Loubet.—Very robust with heavy canes and foliage. Buds taken August 15 will be ready to cut October 10. Color creamy white; later buds show a decided shade of pink. If not mistaken, we may expect some good early seedlings from this one. Fusee.—Height 4 feet; wood very hard. Buds taken at intervals, all look well; yellow. M. Loiseau-Rosseau.—Produces very heavy canes, will need no artificial sup- port; about the height of Timothy Ea- ton. Very short neck from early buds. Midseason; Jap. Inc., pink. Dubuisson-Foubert.—Three and one- fourth to 4 feet; foliage and canes smaller than the average; buds promis- ing; yellow, edged with fine lines of red. Mme. L. H. Cochet.—Dwarf habit; foliage small, and canes slender. Doubt if it has sufficient vigor to meet general favor; pink. Kathleen Stoop.—White; early bud^; promising, but cannot be considered of commercial value, as there are 12 inches of bare neck between the last leaf and bud. If e.xtra large, will find a welcome place on the mossed banks. Mrs. A. T. Miller.—Nice commercial growth and not so long necked as the preceding; 4 feet; very promising white. Ernest Masselin.—Bronzy buff Jap., resembling tne foliage of autumn. Tall and very long necked from early buds; late ones appear better. Chas. Weeks.—B/onzy lilac of medi- um height. Rather susceptible to leaf spot. Marthe Le Sueur.^Looks good from late buds; early ones have too long bare necks for anything except exhibition tables. Delicate pink; Ref. Marquis De Pierres.—Splendid growth ; 4 feet; rather late buds still small. Bright pink, very similar to Maud Dean, but more double. Domino Rose.—Appears to be late; buds recently taken. Reflexing rose pink. Moneymaker.—Both early and late

NEW SWEET PEA, BURPEE'S WHITE SPENCER. See issue of 0<'tober 5. page 56"i. buds are making tine progress; medium height; white. Mme. Angele Laurent.—Early buds very large and promising; 3j/2 feet. Outer petals just beginning to loosen; has every indication of being a good white. Dorothy S. Eady.—Very dwarf; 2^-2 feet, yet is healthy and vigorous; orange apricot. .\. L. Stevens.—Growth clean and very promising; 3J4 f"et; golden yellow- Lady Lennard.—Four feet; size of early buds indicate large blooms; bronze. Miss A-Iariam Hankey.—Three and one-half feet. Heavy foliage and stout canes with very promising buds; clear pink. Winnifred.—In general appearance re- sembles the preceding. We predict this will depose many of the light bronze or amber colored, both for commercial and exhibition use. .Mrs. R. F. Felton.—In habit, is one of the best of the new English sorts, being dwarf and sturdy, with fine large buds; rosy terra cotta. -iance O'Neil.—An Australian, which will give very large blooms; height 6 feet. An exhibition sort; bright yellow, shaded bronze. Mme. Archdeacon.—Dwarf, with clean, heavy foliage. Jap. Inc.; rosy lilac. Villa De Paris.—Short jointed, sturdy grower, 3^ feet. Jap. Inc.; light rose, changing to white. Mile. Suzanne Gauthier.—Not as ro- bust as many sorts, but from last year's notes, we expect it will finish large blooms ; pure white; 3^ feet. Annie Hamilton.—Five feet; clean growth and the buds indicate fine exhi- bition blooms; creamy white. Mrs. Louis Dupuy.—Large clean foli- age ; buds indicate a large exhibition white. Arthur Mileham.—Four feet. Growth not specially attractive, although buds
