exceptionally long erect stems. Normally the flowers make a 
diameter of 8-9 inches. By disbudding they will easily make an 
11-inch diameter. It is an early and continuous bloomer, in type 
a pronounced Hybrid Cactus. The color is difficult to describe in 
a way to do it justice, as it combines many shadings, running 
through amber, pink, and bronze, a pleasing combination of autumn 
tints. Among its other good qualities it has proven an excellent 
variety for cutting. Strong tubers, 75c each.
