every way.

standing dark red at a lower price, rivaling Nippon Beauty in 
quality.

Purest golden yellow center of narrow crinkled petals. Guards 
pink, extra fine for cutting. One of my favorites. A bargain at

POLAR STAR (Sass, 1932) (8.87) Each $2.00 
Midseason Japanese type. Tall, strong stemmed, white guards 
with pink flush. Yellow staminodes and carpels tipped pink. A 
very imposing and lovely flower. 
PRAIRIE AFIRE (Brand, 1932) (8.82) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00

forget it.
