Flaming Velvet. This new variety was in¬ 
troduced last year winning the Gold 
Medal at 1935 All American Trials. It 
is a velvety blood red. Although there 
was some dissatisfaction last year as 
some strains were not at all uniform, 
most of our customers were very well 
pleased and we think that growers will 
have a good sale on plants of Flaming 
Velvet. Our seed is the origina¬ 
tor’s strain. Tr. Pkt. 35c, Ya ok. $1.00.

than the average Hybrida, often 3 inches

about 15 inches, and they commence to 
bloom when still very small.
