tions and blendings, including such combinations as dazzling 
scarlet with gold edge, blood-crimson with yellow edge, yel¬ 
low with orange disk, golden with scarlet border, pure yel¬ 
low, fiery crimson and many others. These magnificent

brilliant flowers, on long, self-supporting stems, “vase” 
handsomely, and they last in water for days.
