Shown in color on back cover 
A remarkable development in this popular 
and easily grown species. The plant forms a

runners, averaging 18 inches, and when it is

runners, is a blaze of color. The large flowers 
are borne on erect, stiff stems 6 inches in 
length, and, consequently, stand well above 
the foliage, an arrangement which adds im¬ 
measurably to the showy appearance of the

distinctly double in form, will fill a room with 
pleasing fragrance, besides being a delight to 
the beauty-loving eye.
