The flowers are large and excellentliy formed with broad full petals of extra heavy substance and smooth velvety, non-burning finish. There are no haft marks of any kind and a dark yellow, brown tipped beard accents the smoothness. The stalks are very strong and tall, some reaching a height of 40 inches, and the branching is excellent. H. M. 1955. Stock very limited this year. Net 25.00.
