 Haig.) The flowers are perfect. The slender tubular florets

 tints of pink, starting at the base very light, deepening towards 

 the centre of floret, gradually shading to light towards tips.

 crimson. The blooms often nine inches in diameter, carried 

 on long black wiry stems which carries the. flower erect; fine 

 for cutting and also good for exhibition. $2.00 each.

 flowers of purest white sufficiently incurved to be fine for 

 exhibition and cutting. The flowers are boldly carried on 

 stout erect stems. $2.00 each.

 flowers large, composed of a mass of narrow florets which in- 

 curve and interlace entirely covering the centre; color ruby, 

 shading lighter at tips $1.25 each. 



British Lion. Remarkable for its monstrous size and unique 

 color, it could easily be described as tawny, a peculiar shade 

 of yellow for the most part, burnished with red. $1.50 each.

 hibition and cutting, the flowers are large, borne on long stiff 

 stems, white at base, changing to deep pink with the whole
