 markings are carried clear through the 

 petals, so that the back of the blossom 

 looks the same as the front. Under arti- 

 ficial light the rose tints predominating. 

 By daylight the markings are decidedly 

 lavender. Good sized blooms carried on 

 tall, straight, gracefully erect stems. 

 Several open at one time. Easily ar-
