This little wonder) like the original Cupid, hails from California. It is not a sport from the original White Cupid, but an actual departure from its parent, the tall Blanche Ferry. In habit and manner of growth it is strictly a Cupid, spreading from the root, from a foot to eighteen inches around, growing from six to eight inches high, and shooting up stems about six inches long, which bear, in full bloom at once, from three to four handsome blos- soms,all borne close to the end of the stem The standard is a bright rose-pink, while the wings are pure white or light pink. The wings are very large and finely formed ; when pressed back against the standard they extend fully a quarter of an inch beyond it. The substance of the blossom is pe- culiarly heavy and it will appear fresh and vigorous in a glass of water long af- ter its long-stemmed parent has withered and died. The plant itself is vigorous and hardy, and those who had poor or indifferent success with the White Cupid will find PINK CUPID easy to grow anywhere. The seed which is black, is of wonderfully 6trong germination, and the plant an early bloomer, coming into bloom simultaneously with White Cupid. It is also delightfully fragrant, and will be admired by every one who sees it. Pkt. ioc, oz. 25c. A Single Plant, Exactly Engraved from a Photograph.
