real giant, both in size of flowers and growth of flower stalks 

 . in 1903. Produced by Dr. Van Fleet, one of the most able and care-

 throat and broad blotches on the lower petals. The individual flowers are 5i inches in 

 liameter and xmietimes one inch larger. The petals are very wide and rounded, forming 

 an almost cin iihu Howcr. Usually three fully expanded flowers are on a spike at one time.

We control the entire stock of this variety which is introduced for the 

 first time this season. The color of the flower is a light scarlet of a very 

 pleasing shade which attracts attention at onc^. The flowers are very large, 

 usually measuring from to 4 inches in diameter and are borne on long 

 stems with from four to six flowers open at one time. 



The petals being of good substance makes it an ideal shipper and as 

 a cut flower it equals any variety we know for the length of time a stem 

 will last after being cut. The growth is very vigorous and the foliage which 

 IS plentiful and of a deep green color makes a splendid setting for the 



beautiful flower. Each, 15c.; per doz, $1.75; per 100, $12.00; per
