of development are a combination of glowing salmon-pink, red, 
iridescent orange, yellow and gold, all blending most harmoni- 
ously. $1.50 each.

throughout the season, its blooms are of the largest size, in 
color it is a much admired beautiful shade of carmine-rose 
with a brilliant suffusion. 75 cts. each.
