 we have this year, both as regards quality of plants and 

 excellence of varieties. Our collection contains some new 

 varieties which we have never offered before. It will also 

 be noticed that a laige number of the kinds named have 

 double white corollas. This will make the set all the more 

 desirable, as that is a feature always most sought after in
