medium-sized flowers as the mixture, but the color is a rich deep golden 
yellow. Plants grow 2 34 to 3 feet tall. The type is very free flowering

the gorgeous autumn tints, including orange, bronze, russet, dull red, 
carmine-red, and intermediate shades. Excellent for cut-flowers because 
of their long stems and fine keeping qualities. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per large
