plant producing flowers 3 times the size of the common varie- 
ties and of a brighter fiery red color. The attractive foliage 
is restricted to the base of the plant, permitting the develop- 
ment of clean stems about 12 inches long which are suitable 
for cutting, especially if benched.

more compact growth which suits it better for pot plant use. 
Very colorful.
