Grand summer and autumn flowering plants, bearing 
long spikes of double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They 
are Old inhabitants of our gardens, but are now so im- 
proved in doubleness and enlarged in size, under our 
special culture and hybridization, as to be revelations of 
gorgeous beauty to those who have not seen these im- 
proved sorts. Hardy biennial, 5 to8 feet high. The seed 
we offer has been saved from our unrivaled collection of 
choicest improved double varieties. (See cut.)
