 in turn, being a careful selection of the best out of the hundreds of new 

 seedlings raised by Mr. Thos. H. Spaulding, from whom we purchased 

 the entire stock upon his retirement from business. Some of the finest 

 varieties in commerce came from him , and these are worthy of the raiser

very attractive for exhibition purposes.

petals incurving loosely, forming what looks like a bird's nest, hence 



the name. A very distiact variety.
