growing, they make a grand display with little or no care. Our collection contains all the colors named, but 
as they are grown from seed an occasional departure from these shades may be expected. For the same reason 
a smull percentage may be single or semi-double. We offer them in the following shades which are the leading 
‘colors grown: double white; double yellow; double lavender; double pink; double crimson ; 
tia purple and double miroon, Price for the above varieties, plants from 2 in. pots, well established,
