 It is the first of a new type which has been 

 obtained by hybridization and rigid selec-

 cjuajification is extreme hardiness. Second, 

 it is perennial, blooming better and more 

 abundantly each season. Third, it is not

 several months. Fifth, the flowers are ex-

 purest glistening whiteness, which are borne

 blooms, when cut remain perfectly fresh and
