 than the standard sorts, and is consequently certain to produce a 

 beautiful display before killing frosts set in. The flowers are produced 

 in loose, finely proportioned sprays, which make them ideal for cutting 

 for decorative arrangements. The plants are perfectly hardy and re- 

 quire no protection in the latitude of New York.

 quilled, the outer part being bright yellow and the center deep crim- 

 son. Height, 24 inches.

 nificent cut flower.
