flowers composed entirely of broad, heavy, wavy petals, 
eliminating the pincushion center entirely. In other 
words, the flower is literally fully double. Extremely 
large and deep, 2^ inches across and 2 to 2^ inches 
deep, about the shape of an old-fashioned beehive. The 
color is a rich deep lavender-blue, a shade which main¬ 
tains its effectiveness indoors or out. Plants are ex¬ 
tremely, upright, growing tall (42 to 48 inches high) 
and the long, heavy, yet wiry stems hold the flowers 
proudly erect. This is an ideal cutting type.$0 50 $3 00
