 represents the highest perfection yet attained in the 

 development of this favorite flower. The plants are 

 extremely robust with large handsome foliage: the 

 flower stems often 40 inches in height carry magni- 

 ficent clusters of immense long-spurred, single flowers 

 which last a long time in bloom. The colors are su- 

 perb and varied — including rich shades as well as many 

 new and delicate tints; pure white, blue and white, 

 pure yellow, pink with yellow corolla, red with orange 

 corolla, cerise, purple, rose and white, salmon, laven-

 liantly effective on the plant, but equally as desirable
