TENTH ANNUAL OUTING OF GREEK-AMERICAN FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION AT WITZEL'S POINT VIEW GROVE. L. I., JULY 6, 1916. year. Fortunately, he has been wiser than many other breeders on «. small scale who look with fond parental eyes on almost any variant among their seedlings; for of the ( probably not more than 50 were even carried into the second season. Under such conditions exceedingly similar, if not identical, varieties origi- nate in different places each year, of which some pairs are named, different- ly, of course, pass into commerce, and may be quite widely disseminated be- fore their essential identity is brought to light by some grower who tries them side by side. Such apparently duplicate varieties are Cuban Giant and Dr. J. P. Kirtland, Mary D. Hal- lock and Queen Victoria, Lucifer (Ger- man), and Ami Barillet (French), Bon Maza and Uncertainty, Harold Peer- man (English), and Tante Blanche (French?) and several others known to the writer. There are undoubtedly dozens, if not hundreds, of other pairs so nearly alike that one name should suffice for the joint stock of both va- rieties, or of which one is enough bet- ter than the other to warrant discard- ing the inferior form and releasing the name for a better variety. In some cases, however, so-called "im- provements" on old varieties lose their apparent superiority when grown else- where than on the grounds of their originators. The dissemination of sucli improved (?) varieties should be dis- coui-aged until thorough testing under diverse conditions has proved the added floriferousness, greater size, etc., to be due to something more than the first impetus of cross-breeding. Again, a breeder may originate a va- riety, name, and disseminate it, wholly unconscious that another has already selected the same name for an entirely distinct variety and given it some per- manence by dist
