A real wonder glad One of the tallest, largest and showiest glads in existence. Six or more immense blooms open at a time. Personally I don't think this variety beautiful but it is very showy and has been one of the most popular varieties grown. Probably as tall as any variety often reaching the height of six feet or more. Wonderful exhibition variety. Sometimes has to be staked to hold up the immense heads of bloom. MRS. P. W. SISSON. (Coleman) (Ex) (Com) (90-95) Creamy light pink. Tall, strong grower. Six or more large blooms open at a time. Outstanding variety. One of the best. MRS. S. A. ERREY. (Errey) (Ex) (Com) (85-90) Very large orange salmon with orange red blotch. 8 or 10 immense blooms open at a time. Cood propagator. Its worst fault seems to be that it fades more or less if left to open-in the sun. Some- times blooms not well placed. Good exhibition sort. A variety with faults but still good. MRS. T. E. LANGFORD. (Crow) (Ex) (Com) (90-95) Exquisite apple blos- som pink with touch of canary in throat. Color somewhat like Mrs. Dr Norton. Tall, always straight with 8-10 good size flowers open. I cannot say too much in favor of this variety. Eesides being a fine exhibition variety I think it will become one of the very best commercials. At various times Mr. Palmer has sent me boxes of blooms of Mrs. Langford to various shows. They always come in perfect condition and open up to the tip. One of the most beautiful varieties in existence. This variety has been 'd as a commercial
