THE flowers of 

 ' this new dwarf 

 variety are very 

 double and are 

 most abundantly 

 produced. The 

 color is a deep ma- 

 hogany red, lighted 

 up with shades of 

 brownish crimson. 

 The centre is usu- 

 ally a deep maroon, 

 almost black, and 

 serves to intensify 

 the rich coloring in 

 the body of the 

 flower. The cut 

 shows the form, 

 but cannot do jus- 

 tice to the coloring ., 

 in this most at- 

 tractive and useful 

 novelty. It will 

 be largely used as ^^J 

 a drooping plant 

 in vases and bas- 

 kets. (See cut.) •^'•**£i-
