 extra size, very long stems, and extreme vigor. Ideal for forcing 

 and also desirable for growing outdoors when the season is fairly 

 cool.

 and most popular of all forcing varieties. Larger flowered and 

 longer stemmed than Orange King, but the color is slightly lighter, 

 and the plant does not endure hot weather quite so well.
