beautiful, and entirely differ- 
ent from the old kinds. Hardy,

first season. They grow five to 
i, six feet high, begin to bloom very 
quickly and are covered almost 
, their whole length with large, 
double chrysanthemum -like 
, flowers, from four to five 
inches across, and of such ex- 
| quisite colors and texture they 
look as if made of crushed silk, 
and produce a beautiful rainbow 
effect. Splendid for Beds, 
Borders, Porch Fronts, etc., 
wherever a partial screen of beauti- 
_ ful flowers is desired.
