the plants of branching type and robust habit. The 
stems are long with few laterals. 114 to 2 ft. Pkt. 20c,

Wilt-Resistant Branching 
These new strains are offered, after practical tests 
begun in 1928, to those who have discontinued grow¬ 
ing these profitable flowers because of failures from 
wilt in the past. They will succeed in badly infested 
wilt conditions where our regular strains will be lost 
entirely. They are almost completely immune to wilt.
