DESCRIPTION 



Color: — Brilliant scarlet, good even shade. 



Form: — ^Large 3 to 3%-inch, well rounded flowers, full 

 center, scalloped edges, outer petals standing out well, 

 showing the flower off to good advantage. 



Calyx: — Strong, large calyx; never bursts, very much 

 on the order of Harlowarden. 



Habit: — Ideal, upright growth; deep green colored 

 foliage, breaks readily from the base, making a rapid 

 growth and producing flowers in remarkably short time. 

 Easv to grow and propagate. 



Stem: — ^Long and strong, not heavy, always stiff enough 

 to hold the large flower perfectly erect. 



Guarantee: — We guarantee this variety to fill a long 

 felt want for a good all around commercial scarlet; one 

 that will produce high grade flowers with long stems right 

 from the beginning of the season to the end. 



The Herald is the Best Commercial Scarlet for you to 

 grow, because it will produce more perfect flowers in a 

 season than any other scarlet and bring a higher price 

 than any other; because the flowers are all perfect; stem 

 stiff and keeps the longest. Compared with Enchantress 

 it will produce one- third more blooms". No culls; no splits; 

 no weak stems. All rooted cuttings guaranteed strong, 

 well rooted and satisfactory in every respect. 



Rooted Cuttings ready for immediate delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO.
