standard varieties. All are A-l grade and quality. This is a 
real bargain if you simply want flowers to out. Strong, 3-

Offered for as long as stock lasts.

terest and enthusiasm. The opened flowers are of extra wide 
spread, with one or more layers of broad guard petals which

bearing stamens, the stamens and anthers are greatly enlarg¬ 
ed into narrow, thick, twisted petaloids of various colors, 
forming a dense cushion.
