EMPRESS TY'PES 
GERMAN EMPRESS. This one has a different type of 
flower from the previous listing, characterized by much 
smaller flow'ers having a set of flaring outer petals, the 
inner ones forming a tube. It is particularly useful in 
making corsages. It is more profuse in flowering than 
any other of 1 this group, being literally covered with 
its dainty pink flowers over a period of about twm 
weeks. I have seen large specimens in tubs covered 
with hundreds of flowers. It is suitable for the hang¬

allowed to hang down. Flowering size $1.00, smaller 
.75, rooted cut .25
