LIA—Continued. 
was singled out as one of the finest 
varieties, and received XXX by the 
judges, and Mr. Cory was so pleased 
with it that he intends to plant a com¬ 
plete bed of it. The coloring is ex¬ 
ceptionally attractive and intensely 
brilliant; the center being a clear 
golden yellow which quickly changes 
to fiery scarlet. A great feature of this 
variety is its lasting qualities, the 
flowers remaining in full beauty for

The shape of the flower is perfectly 
original; the petals being beautifully 
pointed, giving it a star-like appear¬ 
ance. Awarded First-class Certificate
