Perfection is the word that best expresses the superior qualities of this magnificent strain of Tansies, for it is per- fection in the size and form of blooms, while no other con- tains such a great variety of rich and rare colors. The seeds have been saved with the greatest care from the very linest, largest flowers of the German and French types, many of which were of gigan- tic size, measuring from three to four inches in diameter.

Perfection is the word that best expresses the superior qualities of this magnificent strain of Tansies, for it is per- fection in the size and form of blooms, while no other con- tains such a great variety of rich and rare colors.
