A distinct variety in this interesting type and a great acquisition. It is deep roBe 

 pink, edged with white; very attractive. It blooms most abundantly and continuously 

 has long stems and is splendid for cut flowers. The habit of the plant is free and 

 branching, with heavy dark-green glossy leaves, showing its great vigor and hardy 

 constitution. With its wealth of flowers this variety stands out among hundreds.
