our pleasure to grow. Plants are medium to tall and laden

DR. JOSEPH SCHEINER (Dakoupilova), S. C. 
A distinctive novelty, not only on account of its large size 
and great depth, but by its formation, which resembles huge 
chrysanthemums and attracts everyone to it. The color is a 
soft lilac and overcast with a soft rose glow, the huge 
blossoms are held erect, facing the heaven on top of good, 
strong, stiff stems.
