exhibitions last Fall. They are all first class, Mrs. Gilbert 
Drabble being the sensation of the year. 
Aesthetic. The petals closely incurve, and are so 
arranged as to form distinct tiers of puffs or rolls 
rather than the regular contour usually seen in 
the incurved varieties. The color is an ex¬ 
quisite shade of delicate primrose.

The blooms reflex and show the color 
to the best advantage. At its best

best reds yet introduced.

bronze reverse. By the time the flower 
is finished it makes a perfect ball of

its color on the exhibition table either 
in the long or short stem classes.

bronzy yellow, good stem and foliage. A 
splendid variety for the earlier exhibitions.
