with the effect of lighted candles.

en blotch on lower lip.

flowering spikes. Base branching, grow¬ 
ing many spikes per plant.

pery orange scarlet. Well named, pic¬

light salmon pink shades. Good long-

Sew Itust Proof Super Majestic Mixed. A 
superb type as a cut flower, for bedding 
or any garden purpose. Because of the 
greater length of the flower spikes, the

dard Majestic type. Contains a magnifi¬ 
cent range of colors. Tr. Pkt. 50e. 
These varieties were all grown in our

reduced the prices materially this year.
