 high; the flowers, which are produced in lavish profusion, are of splen- 

 did texture and stand well above the foliage, and are of a rich, golden 

 yellow without markings or shadings. (See cut.)

 flowering, pure, rich royal purple, without the slightest shadings, 

 a splendid companion to plant with Shervk-in-Wright, the rich 

 purple of Atropurpurea with the golden yellow of Sherwin- 

 Wright forming a beautiftil color combination.
