SPECIAL FLORISTS STRAIN 



Cornflowers always have been a very important crop 

 with many florists. Yet heretofore even the best strains 

 lacked the fullness and doubleness of the flowers so 

 necessary to their perfect appearance. Dreer's Ultra- 

 Double strain will Immediately appeal to all because 

 the blooms are exceptionally double, forming round 

 fluffy balls of great beauty. The general character of 

 the plants resembles the older type. They grow 2 feet 

 high, are well-branched, and produce a great quantity 

 of long-stemmed flowers for cutting.
