and has been popular ever since. Its carmine-pink 
double blooms are borne freely on a very hardy bush 
structure. *

above described variety. The stems are a little strong¬ 
er and are therefore more suitable for cutting.

a rosette type flower of many petals, the outer petals 
deep rose, shading rose-pink toward the center; all 
petals being suffused with burnished gold.
