nials. The flowers are large, very numerous, produced on 
long stems and excellent for cutting, and of the most 
gorgeous coloring. The centre is dark red brown, while 
the petals are variously marked with rings of brilliant 
scarlet crimson, orange and vermilion, and often a com- 
bination of all these colors in one flower. It delights in a 
rather poor, light soil, and blooms in the greatest profusion ~
