“Bismarck.” A new German variety that the relia¬ 
ble grower claims to be the “climax of perfection.” 
He states the plants are “powerful” and have a 
“solidness and vigor” that casts all other garden 
varieties in the shade. The stout stems, unequaled 
by any other, elevate above the foliage the dense 
pyramidal spikes of bloom, which at the base are 
double the diameter of any other kind. The color 
is reddish and the fragrance enchanting. Pkt. 25
