The plants are of robust free-branching habit, 24 to 30 inches high, bearing liieir magnificent blooms on strong stems, averaging 18 inches in length, and it is hard to find a flower under 4 inches across, and many measure 5 inches by 2§ in depth, forming an almost globular flower. The color is a rich shell-pink, and comes into bloom about the mid
