. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 546 The American Florist. Oct. 5 Those varieties which come natu«ally early will advance rapidly, but the later kinds seem to remain in a semi-dor- mant condition for some time. No doubt they grow from day to day, but not with the rapidity of the early sorts. In looking at the records of some of tlie buds today, this radical difference was brought forcibly to our notice. To illustrate this diversity, we herewith show, Fig. 1, Pres. Loubet from bud taken August IS, which is just leaving the bud state, with only a few of the outer petals unfolded.
