While not as large flowering as the Gi¬ 
ants, these varieties are next in size and 
they have very prettily fringed lacy pet¬ 
als. As a class, they run very true to 
color descriptions, showing some variation 
in shade and also in size and formation. 
Free flowering, excellent for pots, porch 
boxes, baskets or bedding. The following 
varieties have been personally selected by 
us as being the best. Many others we have
