California Giants 
(M.) A new derived type with 
giant 5- to 6-inch flowers ex¬ 
pressing the popular Crego or Ostrich Feather style, 
coupled with the more robust habit and greater length 
of stem characterizing the Beauty class. This welding 
of types benefits its value for cutting, enabling their ex¬ 
treme size and perfection to be used in vase and floral 
work where the ordinary stems would not give sufficient 
support. Mixed. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c ; % oz. 50c.

mous, 4 to 5 and 6 inches in diameter.
