 open lighter, until by October they are nearly

 petals.

 stiff. Bright rosy crimson, with lighter mark- 

 ings. Height 4 feet.

size, beautiful form; produced in endless pr;o- 



! fusion on long, graceful stems. Height, 5 feet. 



Gladys Century — The most distinct and beautiful 



, of this wonderful class. Center of petals rosy 



crimson, with rose-pink band on either side, 



and white zone around the yellow center. 



Height, 3 feet. 



Golden Century — The sensational golden yellow 

 cut flower variety; owing to its rich shades, im- 

 inense size, long, slender, wiry stems and good 

 keeping qualities. Golden yellow shaded am- 

 ber; gorgeous under artificial light. Height, 

 4 feet.

 tinctly new habit of branching, or stooling, right 

 at the ground. Color an exquisite and fashionable 

 shade of orchid-pink.
