A very deep rich pink. The freely placed, narrow grace- 
ful petals, the exceptionally high center, the long stems 
and wonderful keeping qualities make this an espe- 
cially fine cut flower for arrangements and bridesmaid 
bouquets. This is a very early variety. We've had it 
bloom 26 days after planting. Produces quantities of 
flowers from early to late. Excellent for massing. A

Dark plum, tipped white. The loosely petaled bloom 
is dainty and graceful. Even when old this is another 


fortunate flower that always 
looks fresh and young. The 
plant, with its dark plum-like 
stems and long slender open 
foliage, is ornamental in itself.

When the bud opens, the folded florets are a bright 
wine color. As the florets mature and flatten out, this 
winey shade concentrates into several delicate hair 
lines that vein each brilliant Imperial yellow petal. 
There is no suffusion of color. This is one of Floristan 
Gardens’ best, both for cutting and as a garden type. 
The bloom stays on the bush for days and does not 
shatter, “Excellentior missing. eee $2.00
