MY FAVORITE. This form, named by the introducer, is the most widely 

 distributed of her productions. It is very early, a profuse bloomer, and of a 

 color tone quite unique. Before the buds open they are very dark, gradually 

 becoming "smokier" and then burst forth into extremely double florets of a 

 silvery and slaty lavender tone within, smoky purple without. The opening- 

 buds remind one of the sheen on Concord grapes. Technically, the colors are 

 Bishop's Violet with Rose Purple buds. If you could but see the 12-foot speci- 

 mens of this in the gardens at Woodland, waving their thousands of bloom 

 heads in the May breeze, you would not go another season without "^ly 

 Favorite." Fine own-root specimens: $3 each; 3 for $8; 10 for $25
