Defiance." When grown 

 under favorable conditions 

 and with proper care, spikes 

 will not only be of remark- 

 able size — from 12 to 15 

 inches long — but deliriously 

 fragrant, much more so than 

 any other variety. The indi- 

 vidual florets are of immense 

 size, forming a graceful as 

 well as compact spike. Its 

 great strength is accompa- 

 nied by extraordinary keep- 

 ing qualities ; the spikes have 

 been kept 3 weeks after cut- 

 ting, retaining their grace and 

 fragrance until every bud 

 opens 15
