eight large open flowers. Per doz., 40c;

eolor to Picardy but more on the rose shade.

rufficd blooms open on a tall straight spike 
having 18 to 20 buds. This variety will be a 
welcome addition to the list of commercials. 
Picardy is still the most popular variety in 
existence for all purposes and as everyone 
knows is grown much more largely for com- 
mercial cut flowers than any other variety. 
But Laddie will help to supplement Picardy 
as the color is more of a rose and has less 
salmon. Per doz., 70c; per 100, $5.00. 
MAYTIME. Early, beautiful light creamy sal- 
mon with a cream throat. A fine variety and 
becoming more popular every year with the

trade. Per doz., 50c; per 100, $3.50.
