 flowers with gorgeous glistening orange- 

 vermilion blooms borne profusely on plants

 ularly valuable in sections where the 

 season is only moderately long. Its height 

 makes it valuable for background planting 

 but its greatest value is as a cut flower 

 which lasts a long time in water. Pkt. 20c;
