Perle Von Godesburg.—This was heralded as a yellow sport from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, but only one bloom out of a great number shows any pure yellow in coloring. It, in fact, has so few flowers that differ from the variety from which it sported that it will hardly pass as a distinct sort. There is, however, a sufficient number of yellow flowers to show its tendency to sport into a distinct variety.
