gold of the century. It meets all requirements of a good garden

mately 35 to 40% of the plants will produce single flowers but 
the excellence of the true Gigantea type doubles will more than 
compensate for this percentage of singles. The stems are long 
and the flowers are excellent keepers after cutting. Sunset 
Giants has cause'l more favorable comment than any other new 
type. Striking bold colors range from deep orange through 
golden orange, deep golden yellow, light yellow, and a delight¬ 
ful new shade of primrose.
