trasts startlingly beautiful. Not 
completely fixed to type about 
50% will be true. The rogues 
and off types bloom first and the 
true giant Sunshine later. 
The plant are bushy and strong, 
with many flower stalks. Some 
of the flowers have twisted and 
some quilled petals; all have a 
cushion center of tiny quills of 
a contrasting color which makes 
a flower look as if it were cov¬ 
ered with snowflakes. The blue 
flowers are dotted with a paler 
blue and some in white, and the 
rose in a lighter shade of pink 
or white. 2 ft. Pkt., 10 cts.;
