& sub vars. of "new French Pæony flowered Aster" imported designated by different colours white & Achenia all quite alike: perhaps in some a shade of different in average size.—

18 sub. vars. of "Dwarf German asters" imported

The asters : achenia of "Crimson white striped" sub-var quite like the achenia of the several sub-vars. of the last var.

2 sub-var rose colour with white striped

3 Pale read with white quilled

4 ─ ? quilled} achenia like crimson striped

5 carmine with white quilled

6 Pale pink with white striped} perhaps a shade browner then do

7 Pale read quilled

8 Plae blue striped

10 violet with white stripe

11 Sky blue quilled} hardly different from 5 & 6

12 Sky blue with white quilled

13 Flesh colour quilled

14 Pink with white quilled} whiter perhaps a shade narrower

15 Rose colour striped} white as last, perhaps a shade broader & shorter

16 Ultra-marine quilled

17 Crimson quilled

18 Carmine quilled} achenia, white, I thi decidedly narrower & smaller. These 3 differed most. The rest only in being browner & possibly in shades of width

Convolvulus Tricolour (minor)

─ new dark} seeds alike

─ minor white seeds much paler perhaps – shade smaller

36 var of imported summer or ten-week Stocks: in each packet the seeds vary in size considerably & but have same aspect in each packet. Colour differs from yellowish brown to greenish black — size on average differs a little, but in those with smallest, there were some nearly if not quite as large as the largest in other packets with larger average seeds.— Certainly more difference than I anticipated.— These 36 are only sub. vars. of one of the vars. of 10 week stocks, as may be seen in Cattells list.— See Back.

6 vars of "Tall stock-flowered Larkspur" imported from Germany seeds, all alike even those of the white var.— The vars. pale Lilac; violet, dark Lilac. white, Lilac. violet shaded.

8. vars of "Hyacinth flowered Larkspur" imported from Germany seeds like the last: even the white var. with dark black seeds; but some of the vars. have browner seeds; & the two last in following list, specially last, have decidedly smaller & much lighter coloured seeds: but I almost suspect, the last are bad.— Copper Red, Milk White (these 2 blackest seeds); Reddish=White; Pale Blue; Ask Grey; Dark Blue; Lilac; Flesh Colour.
