over the outer portions of the petals and gradually fades from there 
through delicate pink to a pure white center. Those who love pink will 
be delighted with Mme. Antoine Buchner. Bush large, panicles large and 
open, exceedingly brilliant in the low afternoon sun. Stock limited.

a tinge of cream. The plant is free blooming with dark green foliage. A

The general color effect is red, but it might be called a deep purplish 
pink. The plant is strong growing, producing panicles that are very 
broad at the base but gradually develop into a very nice cone. This is 
a variety that cannot help but please. $3.50
