MRS. FRANKLIN I). ROOSEVELT. An incurved 
variety of extremely large size and wonderful sub¬ 
stance. In color it is a beautiful shade of Sou¬ 
venir de Claudius Pernet yellow, shading to deep 
gold toward center. It matures about November 
10 to 15. The plant is a tall, vigorous grower, 
and for this reason crown-buds should be reserved 
about August 25, to avoid tall stems.

yellow. Very stiff, upright stem. Grows 4 feet 
high from June planting. We recommend this 
variety. Aug. 25; Oct. 15.
