NOVELTY POLYANTHUS 
Elizabethan forms to delight the collector. Seed will throw a percentage 
of Hose-in-hose and Jacks-in-the-green in various colors. The calyx of 
the Hose-in-hose is of petal, rather than leaf, texture, and is the same 
color as the blossom, the effect being one flower growing from another. 
The calyx of Jack-in-the-green is exaggerated into miniature leaves holding 
the blossom as a ring-setting. Slower germinating than giant Polyanthus, 
use method suggested for Miniature Polyanthus.
