 eter, are not at all coarse 2,00

 delicate pink shading to white. The flowers are borne on 

 long, wiry stems, and it is a splendid cut flower variety 75 



King of Autumn. This is a new shade of gold and pink. It has 

 extraordinary stems, is a remarkably free bloomer; in fact,

 cut flower variety, for which purpose it is unsurpassed l.tX)
