straight. The regularly formed flower is at 
once suggestive of a star. Size and stem are 
good and it is another that will supply many 
good flowers until late in the season. Further¬ 
more, it is a good keeper and we do not hesi¬ 
tate to recommend it as a very useful and 
beautiful cut flower. Plants only, $2.
