spikes five feet all. Grows almost too 
tall. A marvelous basket glad. Blooms 
have a silvery, silky sheen. 
VIRGIN (Lins) 490. A white of extreme-

cate rose blush, and a small rose blotch 
in throat. It will open 8 on a 22 bud 
spike.

olus kingdom. A robust grower, dis- 
ease resistant. It has grace, elegance

color. 6 to 9, 6-inch florets open, well 
attached to a tall spike of 17-20 buds.
