would continue to bloom clear down until 
freezing weather and give you flowers of 
the finest quality and large in size. 
Now we have all of these extraordinary 
qualities in Aladdin. The first blooms ap¬ 
pear late in July and early August in normal 
years. The color is at first an exquisite 
warm coppery bronze overlaid with orange 
apricot shade which deepens as the frosts 
of Autumn come. The flowers are borne on 
erect, stiff stems which branch more and 
more as growth progresses, giving you an 
abundance of beautiful blooms throughout 
the early and late fall season.
