such a variety of shadings that one might think there 

 were several kinds in one fine blend of loveliness. 



Golden Harvest — Rosenfield's. The more you see 

 of this the better you like it. It is a free bloomer. 

 You can depend on flowers the first spring after plant-

 stage of development it shows a center of pure gold. 

 The next year it shows the same, only more. In the

 like a carnation. 



General Lawton (Pleas) — Bright rose pink, edged
