 flowers at all, but in such cases bear in pro- 

 fusion large single flowers. (See cut.)

 standards, borne in pairs, are large, full and

 are very large and freely produced. Coloring, 

 pearl white, tinted rosy lavender. Oz., 20c; 

 Pkt., 10c. 



White Wonder. The best double white, 

 often producing 6 to 8 flowers on long stems,

 those that are single are unusually large; 

 healthy and free blooming. Oz., 15c; Pkt.,

These grow in perfect bush form, 16 to 18 

 inches high. They require no trellis when

 individual bushes the support of light crossed 

 sticks should be given. They freely produce 

 flowers of large size.
