{Heady in November ,) 
Queen Alexandra. A beautiful new variety, entirely distinct 
from anything in this line, the color being a soft pink. A

of the leading growers, who are unanimous in declaring it the 
finest in existence. The plants form very symmetrical, bushy

forced even easier than the ordinary Japonica. (See cut.)
