Description tn aetail — Not clearly differentiated, although guards and a few petals 

 around center are wider than rest of bloom, but they all blend together grad- 

 ually. The extreme center of the bloom is somewhat cup-shaped and entirely 

 transformed. Odor pleasant. 



Medium height plant good length and strength of stem. Free bloomer in 

 clusters. 



Remarks — This variety is very similar to "Madame Forel" and "Madame Geissler." 

 Possibly "Marie Houillon" is a few days later and more upright habit.
