 although the flowers face, so that none of their beauty is lost. It is 

 marvelously free-flowering, of large size, measuring from 2 to 2j inches 

 in diameter; in color a rich golden-yellow, which is rendered still more 

 effective by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and 

 blooms continuously the entire season. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15
