ANGEL’S BREATH. It grows as an inverted bowl, 
twenty inches high and spreads two feet. In 
flower, it is so profusely covered that the rich 
green foliage, decorative otherwise, can scarcely 
be seen. The white is fully double without a trace 
of center. It is brand new and carries our high- 
est recommendation.

foliage are of great value for florists’ fillers, can 
also be dried for winter use.

SILVER QUEEN, (Martin’s Selection). This will 
dry just like Silver King. It is bushy and carries 
an abundance of hard silver seeds that add to 
its effect. Though not as light, it is our judg- 
ment that it is much more impressive than the 
Silver Queen and more desirable than Silver 
King in many instances.
