 wide, a rich dark green with red veining. In autumn the whole 

 tree blazes with rich, warm color. The flower buds are balls 

 covered with whitish-green satin. When as large as marbles 

 they unfold; the guard petals emerge; they are satiny snow- 

 white, elaborately frilled and pleated. The snowy, frilly chalice, 

 3 inches in diameter and of piquant irregularity, holds a sumpt- 

 ious mass of the richest orange-gold stamens and breathes forth 

 a delicate balmy fragrance. 12 to 18 in. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.50;
