ROSY WINGS (Othake) 
This new flower, introduced last year, 
should be in every garden. It is one of 
the better Annuals that have come into 
cultivation during the past ten years, 
perhaps not far from the best of them. 
It is extremely free-blooming, mantled 
with flowers continuously for several 
months. Each blossom is about an inch 
across, and they are carried in many- 
flowered corymbose clusters. The flower 
has a densely double center encircled by 
wing-like three-lobed petals in most 
pleasing silvery pink, petal-wings and 
center cushion all of one tone. The 
leaves are narrow, quite silvery. Plants 
are bushy, about two feet high and 
across. This is an easy flower to grow, 
one that seems tolerant equally of drought and of exces- 
sive rain. It cuts. Botanically the Rosy Wing is OTHAKE 
es eee te Illustrated above. Pkt. 15c; 7 oz. 25c;
