A superior type, of healthy, robust 

 growth, producing long-stemmed 

 flowers of immense size and per-

 long sttms, massive, p:tony-formed flowers of 

 perftct form and faultless outline, and exceed- 

 ingly double to the very center. When well 

 frown the flowers of Henderson's Invincible

 jie quite common, and if grown especially for 

 lit flowers, the side branches pruned, allowing
