 stem. Lb. $2, Klb. 75 cts., oz. 25 cts., pkt. 10 cts. 



»ETHEL ROOSEVELT. (Burpee, 1910.) Is a true waved variety 

 of the largest and most perfect Spencer type. There is naturally 

 some variation, even in Spencers, and Ethel Roosevelt claims the 

 most e.xclusive Spencer perfection. The ground-color is a soft, 

 pleasing primrose, or straw-color, overlaid with dainty flakes and 

 splashes of blush-crimson. The crimson is not at all pronounced, 

 and simply gives some warmth and golden tinting to the yellow- 

 ish ground work. It bunches splendidly and will easily lead in 

 this type of coloring for a long time. Lb. $7.50, ^Ib. $2, oz. 75 cts.,

 are extremely large, of the true waved Spencer type, and have a 

 most pleasing color effect. The background is quite a deep prim- 

 rose, flushed with rose. The flowers are all of good substance, 

 borne three and four to the stem ; in our grounds there were pro- 

 portionately more sprays of four flowers than with any other 

 Spencer grown by us. The strong dark green stems carry well 

 the gigantic flowers. Lb. $5, Klb. $1.50, oz. 50 cts., pkt. 15 cts.
