"BRILLIANT BLEND"

 feet high, bearing immense double flowers i to 5 inches in 

 diameter, or as large as Peonies. Some of the flowers have 

 broad, round, smooth-edged petals, and are of imposing effect; 

 others have lacinated and fringed edges which add a charming 

 grace; but the climaxing merit of all is the wonderful variety 

 of coloring, ranging from the most gorgeous crimson through 

 innumerable shades to purest white; many are also str. 

 blended and edged with other colors. When 

 grown in masses the floral panorama is of a. 

 most unimagined beauty. They are of the 

 easiest possible culture; the seed onlv 

 needs to be sown thinly in May where 

 the plants are to remain.
