Each year, at the Paris Spring Exhibition, our specialists, Mr. Arthur Billard and MM. Vallerand, present in their beautiful lots of new varieties. We reviewed the main varieties collected. Among the varieties put on the market for two or three years, the following seem particularly recommendable: Madame Arthur Billard - Plant very vigorous, standing well, flowers very big, very full, of a charming color pink tender.
