and beautiful race originated with, and was firstintro- 
duced and named by us ‘‘Mammoth.’”’ The average 
trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference, and 
the individual florets on properly grown plants over 
1 inch across—or larger than a 25c. silver piece. 
They bloom freely, are vigorous in growth, and con- 
tain all of the beautiful new colors and shades.
