 cut flowers there is nothing more 

 beautiful than our improved large

 delicate sprays of pure white flowers 

 are easily grown and maj' be had from 

 the outdoor garden through a long 

 season. Combined with carnations, 

 with violets or snapdragons, with 

 hyacinths or orchids according to
