eleven inches in diameter by five and a 
half inches in depth. Stems are strong 
and erect, twelve to fourteen inches in 
length, holding flower at a forty-five de- 
gree angle. Blooms have good sub- 
stance, holding the form well. Ideal 
type plants with heavy foliage and well 
spaced nodes. Size | 1x5!/.
