for 3 years before offering it for sale. It justified everything claimed 
for it, ‘pure red, heavy foliage and vigorous growing midseason varie- 
ty.” The bloom is the largest, the foliage the greenest and most beauti- 
ful, the plant habit perfect, the stems strong, color and fragrance excel- 
lent. Nothing more need be said. We recommend this unqualifiedly.
