 many years. In size 

 and beauty of the 

 flowers, this strain 

 is unapproachable.

 Messrs. B. K. Bliss 

 & Sons, have sup- 

 posed that the art- 

 ist bail exercised 



both as to size and 

 t he strange conibi- . 

 nations of colors. 

 So far from this being the ease, the flowers are, if 

 anything, rat her below the real size, and as to colors 

 il would I..' in. possible to conceive of any artificial 

 colors more brilliant, or more strangely contrasted, 

 than thev ate in flowers produced by this remarkable 



strain of seeds, s e of the blooms are as near black 



as it is possible for a flower to be, and of a velvety 

 texture of great richness.
