SEED: Taken from plants whose PAR¬ 
ENTS have been carefully selected and 
HAND POLLENIZED for from two to 
five generations. (To clarify this state¬

may expect over 75% double or semi¬ 
double flowers, instead of the very small 
percentage obtained from seed where pre¬ 
vious generations have been open pollen- 
ized in the ordinary way. 
Naturally we selected only the very
