Countess of A very pale pink, edged with rose, of good size and form; its 
Aberdeen color scheme an attractive departure. What Lottie Eckford is

Penciled effect 
Fairy Queen Old type form. White ground, with fine lines of carmine on

Tricolor 
Captain Though not an elegant flower, it has unique markings. White 
Clark ground, delicately blushed with carmine-pink, lightest toward the

suffused very lightly with a delicate pink, hardly noticeable until 
the season advances. Stems long and slender, usually three- 
flowered and set well apart, which shows them off to good advan- 
tage. Remarkable for its long season of blooming.

spindly growth, some making but a single shoot, tw^elve to 
eighteen inches tall, and then beginning to flower; but, as the
