The flowers of this strain are mammoth in size, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with 
broad, heavy fluted petals carried on very long strong stems, It is extremely early 
flowering, blooming in 10 weeks from the time of seeding. The plants make a 
rather heavy growth of foliage, reach a height of about 4 feet, are free blooming,

for even larger flowers for the cut flower trade.
