ORANGE BUTTERFLY 95 —ttt Sm. Dec. 
The only really small flowered variety in 
the entire list. They average about 2 
inches. But, it holds 10 or more open ona 
long flowerhead, which is very unusual 
for this type. The color is a rich, glowing, 
bronzy orange. And, unlike most of the 
small flowered sorts, the substance of the 
florets is excellent, though there may be 
some crooking of the stem in extremely 
hot weather. Commonly champion bloom 
of the Small Dec. section. Too many to 
list. L .06 (100, 4.00) M .04 (100, 2.50)
