 of the broad-petaled "decorative" type; 

 a giant in size. The color is a soft silvery- 

 pink deepening to a rosy-pink on the 

 edges of the petals, the latter shade being 

 more pronounced at times. The center 

 is soft, creamy-white, showing more 

 distinct as the flower ages. The habit is 

 splendid, long stems and fine foliage. 



Madama A. Lumiere. It is indeed a beau- 

 tiful sort, a soft creamy white with dis- 

 tinct violet-crimson on the tips of 

 the petals. The latter color extends 

 downwards, lessening towards the center, 

 producing a charming effect. It is a 

 "decorative" variety, of medium size. 



Professor Mansfield. Flowers on the crown 

 bud run from seven to eight inches across; 

 sturdy grower with long stout stems. The 

 color is rich yellow, clear white tips and

 appear on the margin of the petals; occa- 

 sionally the white is absent from some 

 flowers on a plant. Price, field-grown 

 roots, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz.
