FILIGREE. Pink lilac tones. Pattern

able. 
GAY BAGATELLE. Tyrian rose —so

tips. Growth and form like Deutsche Kai- 
serin.

er. To be further described at a later

ens on outer petals; filaments and pistil

sette type with very double flowers. Larg- 
er than Wendy or Tom Thumb. Fine 
plant growth. 
PURIFLORA. Pink tones. Inner petals 
open white and deepen to delicate pink

pink. Buds appear to be white when 
forming. Plant growth and flower both 
beautifully formed and give a very lacy 
effect.

ful 3 in. crimson flower with fuchsia base 
opening flat with crimped edges. Flowers 
carried on extra small flat stems. Fila- 
ments and pistil tinged cerise. One of the 
finest for cut flowers in these strong colors. 
Best grown as a cascading plant. This and

plant growth than the others in this list.

we find so delightful we are at a loss for 
adjectives to describe it.

setta. Filaments and pistil a light rose.

lustre. Larger than Gay Bagatelle. Small 
plant growth. 
WENDY. Oriental red, very charming 
and the smallest of the red flowers, even 
smaller than Tom Thumb. Perfect rosebud 
form. Plant growth more like Deutsche 
Kaiserine than like Tom Thumb, which 
has a very distinctive growth habit.

seed is available. These seeds are 
from the full color range of this 
group. Cultural instructions with 
each packet. $1.00 per packet.
