upright stems, crowned with immense feathery flowers. The long, recurved petals
give the flowers an exceedingly graceful effect, heightened in many cases by the
ragged, irregular character of the petals in the center of the flower. The flowers all

flowers are sufficiently large for cutting, either for house decoration or florists' use.
A medium early bloomer, continuing in flower until late in the fall. The flowers are
large and full to the center; petals fine and somewhat incurved; color bright purple.
