IMPROVED GIANT CREGO 
The plants are vigorous and productive, 
sending up stems about two feet in length, 
each carrying immense flowers often meas¬ 
uring 514 inches across. The long petals curl 
across each other so fluffily as to enhance the 
beauty of the flowers. Blooms from August 
to the end of September. The large, double 
flowers, shapely and well formed, make this 
a fine all-purpose variety.
