description. The flowers are unusually 
large, being from 4 to 7 inches in diameter 
when grown under proper conditions with 
good fertilizer and sufficient moisture. 
Many of the flowers resemble immense 
dahlias with their long, stout stems that 
make them unsurpassed as cut flowers.

and a mixture: Crimson Monarch, Dream 
(deep lavender), Exquisite (pink), Canary 
Bird (primrose yellow), Oriole (golden yel- 
low), Polar Bear (white), and Mixed. Per
