ALICE MAY (Morgan)—I.D. 
A pure waxy white variety that will rank with the greatest 
to-date. The blooms are of tremendous size often I 2 1/2 by

Autumn with its petals folding back to the stem. It has

resistant and prolific. At Cleveland it defeated the newest 
and best in the white class and won as the best bloom in 
competition with all varieties. Plants $3.75 net
