RED JAPS. Auten Originations 
These 19 varieties far surpass all the red Japs ever sent

are very brilliant, practically free from fading; others are 
rich with clear purple.

many blooms have a large tuft in the center.

that respect to Nippon Brilliant. 3.00

of first Japs to bloom, fine vigorous plant. 2.00

be no rivalry. Stocks are small and price is very 
low for such high quality. 15.00
