most critical amateurs. A well finished bloom

Virginia Lee. Full double pink, fading near white in 
field. Late, and should open well in any climate. 
Medium height, on stems that are good for cut-

is a flower of wondrous beauty, soft, even glow- 
ing pink, shading to a deeper pink in the heart 
of the bloom. In the upper class as regards color, 
it has been called a sure blooming Milton Hill, 
though it is a bit lighter. Of irresistible beauty 10.00
