gorgeous color shadings, many of them so richly marked, 
' margined, and shaded as to be too beautiful for words to 
describe. These giant flowers include the richest shades of 
lavender and gold, red with silver rim, garnet, canary- 
yellow, purple, rose, bronze, blue, lavender, black, white, 
and red. Be sure to include this mixture in your order.
