form and greatest substance with good strong stem. Flowers 3 inches in di¬ 
ameter mature November 1. Height 3 feet. 
ANGELO—(Introduced by us, 1920). Light pink, more decided and pleasing 
in color than Lillian Doty. When grown for pot plants, should be potted the 
middle of June and stopped twice. This produces plants not to exceed 16 inches 
in height with six to twelve perfect blooms to the plant. Surpasses any of the 
Caprice family for this purpose. Matures October 25.

inches in diameter, with stiff, upright stem. Color, bright yellow, maturing 
November 20 and later.

when mature presents several shades of pink and often approaches white. This 
variety is a strong enough shade of pink to be permanent. The upper surface 
of the petals is a violet pink and the reverse lighter. Height, 4 feet. Flowers 
3(4 inches in diameter mature November 1.
