A SUPERIOR NON-BRANCHING STRAIN 
The one enormous spike produced by this strictly non-branch- 
ing type permits close planting and makes a most profitable 
greenhouse crop for spring cutting. 
Our seed is grown for us by specialists who through careful 
selection and special trials do everything possible to insure 
your getting a high percentage of doubles. 
Make successive sowings for a continuous supply of fine 
spring cut flowers. Grow cool (below 60°) to prevent blindness.
