PRESIDENT CARNOT. Like President McKinley the flower is of Giant size and fine rounded form : the coloring is of the same striking type, but mucb. lighter in effect, the contrast being aptly described in calling them the Silver- and the Gold-Bordered Pansies. The center of each of the large rounded petals is heavily blotched with a soft, rich shade of violet-purple. The edges are distinctly outlined with a snowy-white band, the clear marking of which is well shown in the illustration below. In the center of the lower petals the coloring deepens to a deep velvety brown tint contrasting richly with the yellow of the small distinct eye.

Words are inadequate to describe the delicate beauty of this unique novelty. The flower, painted from nature on Colored Plate in The Farm Annual, will give some idea of the peculiar" shade of color.
