THE E. G. HILL CO M PA N Y 
centag'e of long-stemmed flowers; the shorter 
stemmed bloom is very valuable for decorative 
work, as even on the slender stems the bloom is 
gracefully held; for table decorations and design 
work it is unsurpassed, the color being a bright 
pure scarlet pink, like a perfect Lawson carnation; 
the oud is pointed, the petals beautifully rolled; its 
keeping qualities are unexcelled and the open flowei 
with rolling, reflexing petals is exquisite beyond 
description. $4 per 100.
