stems and have an agreeable, fruity 
fragrance. The opening blooms show 
a lovely apricot-buff on the back of 
the netals with a touch of salmon- 
pink on the inside, the combination 
making a soft amber-yellow with a 
Iuminous glow. This is a tall-growimng

even after they have opened to their

* RED RADIANCE. H.T. Cerise- 
red. A sport of Radiance, it has the 
same form, habit of growth, fragrance, 
and healthy foliage. The difference 
is in the color, which is an even shade 
of cerise-red. Like Radiance it is long 
lived, free blooming and does well 
under a wide variety of growing con- 
ditions. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.35.
