March 84, 1903 Saxonia.—This is a variety from Germany; it is claimed to be a seedling from Golden Gate; the growth and general makeup of the flower show its relationship to its American parent. It has not been tested sufficiently to determine its winter blooming qualifications, but we are inclined to think well of the variety. It has finer coloring than Golden Gate and is somewhat on the order of Md. Pierre Guillot in its markings and the bud has a much better form.
