NEW DWARF GIANT FLOWERING 



All the plants are bushy and compact in 

 growth, growing to a height of 30 inches, which 

 is about 8 inches shorter than the spreading 

 Emperor type. No vigor has been lost in short- 

 ening the plants, and they will survive a hot 

 summer and outlast the old strain. The flowers 

 are formed in a group or cluster at the head of 

 each plant. They considerably surpass other 

 sorts in size and color combination. This strain 

 is excellent for bedding and cutting purposes.
