Beauty of St. Kilda, from present condition of the buds, will apparently show to good advantage, but owing to the peculiar color which is a rosy amber must be considered with those suitable for exhibition. Rose Pockett is an exceptionally large golden bronze, but its spinal col- umn is insufficiently developed to hold its head upright, hence it can be shown only to advantage, with a stem not to exceed 12 inches.
