No. 6058. "Without exception this is the finest tvpe of 

 this showy flower; we do not hesitate in recommending it. 

 The flowers are from 3 to 4 inches in diameter, most per- 

 fectly imbricated and extremely double. The colors run 

 through all shades of yellow, from verr light primrose to 

 the deepest orange. It is well to say there are at least 

 four sections of coloring, viz.: primrose, lemon, gold and 

 deep orange. The proportion of double flowers is greater 

 than in any other selection we have seen, evidence of which 

 we can verify. A few trial packets were placed in the 

 hands of amateurs, gentlemen's gardeners and florists last 

 spring. The reports already from these sources are unan- 

 imous in praise of its sterling merits. Per pkt., 25 cts,; 

 3 pkts. for 50 cts.
