MISS AMERICA 



In sturdiness of growth, freedom of bloom and 

 size of individual flower, this is absolutely in a class 

 all its own. Plants, set out during early May, start 

 to bloom late in June and continue to bloom 

 uninterruptedly up to hard frosts, end of November. 

 The flowers are of a deep scarlet-crimson, as large 

 as an average carnation, and borne in clusters of 6 to 

 8, on stems 10 to 12 inches long. Truly, among 

 hardy pinks there is no other that can begin to 

 compare with this gem. Each, 50c; dozen, $5.00.

 Pink and Grenadin Red.
