perianth segments or petals, and a flattened eye

deeply with scarlet or crimson, and sometimes 
mostly all scarlet. All are more or less sweetly 
scented. Having very highly colored crowns they 
should be cut young.

and charming novelty of exquisite beauty and huge 
dimensions, carried on a strong, tall stem. The double 
rows of perianth segments are composed of long 
golden yellow petals, interspersed with shorter petals 
of soft orange, giving the flower a most aristocratic ap¬ 
pearance such as is not found in any other double 
variety. Of great substance and long lasting quality 
it is a magnificent specimen for exhibition purposes 
and the garden. Selected as the finest and most dis¬ 
tinct double variety in existence. $8 each.

spersed with shorter petals of lemon and brilliant 
orange. $1.50 each, $15 per dozen. 
DAPHNE 4: 
This will take the place of Albo Plena Odorato which

location. Flowers very freely and is sweet scented.

for massing i?i partially shaded situations. Most are 
fragrant.
