DOUBLE VARIETIES. 



Note.— /^Zi well known that seed saved 

 from the most carefully hybridized flowers 

 produces but a small percentage of double 

 floivers, the balance being singles of un- 

 usually fine quality. The weaker seedlings 

 should be carefully saved, as these invari- 

 ably produce the finest double flowers.

SINGEE VARIETIES.

Fringed Ruffled Giant. This new strain originated 

 with the famous specialist in California, who, some 

 years ago, sent out the California Giant and Ruffled 

 Giant strains. It differs from the latter in having, in 

 addition to the .ruffling, a very fine fringed edging, 

 making a very handsome flower. In size and color- 

 ing equal to the finest now in commerce
