ROSELLA Originator — Cowee, 1904. Reg. A. 



G. S., 1914 

 Group — Lemoinei (Gage) ; nanceianus 



(Woodruff) 

 Stock from Cowee 

 Synonym — Kathryn. 



Bloom — Very large (13 cm.)- Tube curved, stout, short. Segments unequal, connivent; 

 the upper horizontal and broad, the lower straight and narrower. Stamen filaments 

 pink; anthers violet. Perianth carmine-purple (156-n), large blotch of French 

 purple (161-111) on a yellow-green throat. Color clear, bloom well open, compact. 

 An excellent variety. The color might be described as a bright, deep rose. 

 Mrs. Francis King, speaking of the use of this variety in the garden, says: 

 " Rosella above Ageratum Stella Gumey cannot fail to be a success in color 

 paintings; Rosella below vSalvia Azurea, with the annual pink mallow near by; 

 and last, Rosella with Baron Hulot, that small-flowered but ever-needed Gladiolus 

 of the color known as Bishop's violet. I am myself minded to grow Baron Hulot 

 in the midst of Ageratum Stella Gumey — precisely as one lets a colony of Tulips 

 appear above Forget-me-not ; and Baron Hulot would be also most perfect among 

 the fine, creamy flowers of Chrysanthemum Garza."
