quaintly lined and edged with lavender, and the

 and mauve is Rembrandt who is tinted so softly a 

 mauve-blue. 



^ There are exquisite rose and pink-mauve tinted

 These are not all the pallidas. I have only mention-

 loveliest without question. They are not novelties 

 or rare seedlings, just beautiful, fragrant, lovable 

 and distinguished flowers.

 Anna Farr white and pale blue most remarkable 

 and beautiful. Pocahontas is also remarkable, a
