be too highly recommended; they are 
one of the very finest of all for general 
planting. The plants grow about two 
feet high, and are of sturdy, branching 
habit; they are enormous bloomers, and 
in their season are covered all over with 
splendid large double flowers of exqui- 
site beauty. The seeds should be sown 
in boxes or a seed-bed, and transplanted about two feet apart where they are to remain. The flowers are 
borne on long stiff stems, excellent for cutting and bouquet work. We offer:
