A COLOUR CHART.
The question of a eheap work for identifying the colours of flowers has been discussed by members of the National Sweet Pea Society, and an open letter on the subject has been addressed to the Hon. Secretary of that society by Mr. Stanley Brooke, of York. The secretary (Mr. Chas. Curtis), in his reply, states that it is unlikely the National Sweet Pea Society will be able to undertake the cost of preparing such a work, but if it is recognised that it would be equally valuable to kindred societies such as the Rose, Dahlia, Carnation and Chrysanthemum Societies, these societies might be induced to issue a chart conjointly, and, failing them, the Royal Horticultural Society might be asked to undertake the task. The cost of the work should be small enough to enable it to be purchased by the members, for it is found that the “Repertoire des Colours,” although an excellent colour chart, is too expensive to be of general use.
