Similar to the Darwins in their tall, strong growth, and flowering at the same time. They produce immense blooms on long, stiff stems, 
and in some instances are larger than the Darwins. Their artistic colors make them great favorites with those who desire to contrast their 
bronze, terra-cotta, and buff shadings with the lighter-colored sorts of the Darwins. They make a fine effect in hardy borders, and when used 
as a cut-flower last a long while in water. 
The asterisk (*) preceding the name of the variety denotes that it is suitable for forcing as well as bedding. The letters F and G following 
the name indicate their relative time of flowering, the F’s being the earliest to bloom. Figures indicate the normal height in inches.
