Parentage, Prosperity x No. 24, '02. Ground color is white heavilyover- laid with scarlet barring a broad distinct zone of pure white on the edges of the petals. The latter are deeply serrated, and the bloom presents a most striking appearance. It has the stiflf stems of the pollen parent, and as long as Pros- perity. Habit about midway between the two parents. It has an extraordi- nary constitution, and even late cuttings make good blooming plants. Its color is immensely popular. In size it is fully equal to Prosperity at its best, i. e., 3 to 4 inches, the latter being a frequent oc- currence. This is the H. Weber & Sons Co.'s No. 9-'o3 of last year. THE SALTFOKD. Front and back views of the new car- nation The Saltford accompany this note. This variety is a cross of Lawson and Prosperity in its third year. The plant is from to 3 feet high, says the proprietor, W. G. Saltford, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., a strong grower with no grass, every shoot flowering. The flowers are of immense size, run- ning from 3^ to 4^ inches in diame- ter, with good wiry stems, and of a beautiful pink shade somewhat lighter than Lawson. It is not a cropper, and the flowers carry their size in hot weather. GEORGIA. This is a white variety originated by James D. Cockcroft, Northport, N. Y., and he has grown it now for four years. The flower, it is said, averages about 3'-4 inches and is borne on strong stems from 18 to 24 inches in length. It is very full with deeply fringed petals, has a calyx which absolutely never bursts, and is unusually fragrant. The plant has a clean and rapid growth with no super- fluous grass, every shoot producing a flower. It begins to bloom in September and continues throughout the season with the same freedom as Enchantress, growing in the same house. MISS SARAH A. HILL. We present, page
