ALICE COOMBS. A giant pink, similar to Glori 

 iisa in lone, with a wonderful texture. 



AVIATOR. A 



BELLE WASHBURN. Color is a most 

 brilliant red. The flowers are large 

 are produced on long, stiff stems. A 

 constant bloomer throughout the season. 



We invite you to Cromwell Gardens. 



CHAMPION. By selection. Champion has shown 

 wonderful improvement and has become one of the 

 finest of the scarlet varieties. It is a beautifully 

 formed flower of good keeping quality and needed 

 only careful selection of stock to bring it to its best. 



It is a good producer. 

 GOOD CHEER. Rose -pink in 

 color and has nicely formed 

 flowt rs. We selected a bench of 

 Good Cheer to grow for cut- 

 tings, as it makes few cuttings 

 naturally. We shall have 

 nice, clean stock to otTer, 

 stock that will please you. 



MISS THEO. Miss Theo 

 belongs in a class by itself, 

 for it is not a large-flowered 

 variety. It makes up, 

 howe\ cr, for lack of size 

 in producing ability. It 

 is bright pink in color, 

 well formed, with petals 

 nicely serrated. It re- 

 minds us of William 

 Scott, a favorite of years 

 ago. 



NANCY. Color light salmon -pink, 

 little darker than Pink Delight and 

 more even color; does not fade. 

 Fragrance is very noticeable. It 

 keeps well and is a good companion to Alice and 

 Enchantress Supreme. 



NEBRASKA. A bright scarlet. Plant is a strong 

 grower, producing long, stiff-stemmed flowers. 

 Nebraska is the most promising of last season's 

 Ities. 



RED WING. A clear scarlet color, with a long, 

 perfect stem; clean, healthy grower. Flowers 

 are nicely formed and do not split the calyx. It 

 is in many respects similar to Beacon but has a 

 _ better cal>Tc, and with us is a better 



grower. It is a good safe variety for any 

 one to plant. The flower is of pleasing 

 Arawana form and keejis well when cut. 



The visit will interest you.
