Please Note—IMPORTANT 
The size of the illustrations in this 
catalog is no indication of the actual size 
of the bloom. Some varieties shown here 
in a small illustration are actually much 
larger than some of the large photographs. 
The description of each variety will tell 
you the size of the bloom. Why not use 
the ruler at the bottom of page 3 in 
trying to visualize the true size?
