with a high rose-bud like center. They are 
held at a forty-five degree angle on very long, 
almost leafless stems, that are strong and 
sturdy and hold the blooms high above the 
foliage. It is a free and exceptionally 
prolific bloomer from early in the season un¬ 
til frost. They will last a long time when cut, 
and are ideal for either the garden or exhibi¬ 
tion. The plant is very vigorous, strong and 
sturdy in habit of growth, with self-branch¬ 
ing and wide-spreading habits, and needs very 
little disbudding to get large blooms. Height 
six feet, winner of First Class Certificate at 
the Trial Grounds at Tours. Plants $3.75.
