ALAS KA We believe Alaska to. be the finest single flowered 
@ variety in existence. It is far superior to any- 
thing else we have ever seen. It is giant in size, blooms profusely 
on tall, stiff stems, with heavy, overlapping petals. Under ordinary 
cultivation, the flowers average 4 to 5 inches and we have seen 
many of them as large as 7 inches across. Plants grown from seed 
will give fine flowers but will not all be true to name. ag ACs >
