Asbury Park—Strawberry red, shaded salmon and 
old gold. Large, vigorous grower with excel¬ 
lent stems. $1.00.

low. Stems equal to Jersey Beauty. Ideal in 
every way. 50c.

Buckeye King — Clear, glowing amber yellow.

Cameo—Introduced in 1933 by Fisher & Masson, 
on the Honor Roll the previous fall, it oc¬ 
cupied a prominent place in our gold medal 
display at A Century of Progress. Cameo 
makes a medium to tall plant with dark 
green insect-resisting foliage. According to 
Ridgeway’s chart it is a true coral rose with 
a golden sheen on face of petals and rose on 
reverse. Stems are good. Petals are broad 
and the flower is more formal than informal 
in appearance. In our garden, it fully sus¬ 
tained the originator’s claims. $2.50.

form and stem, but with a larger bloom. 
Color a deep old rose. An introduction of 
1935 which will outlive a number of its mates.

der pink disappearing as the flower becomes 
fully open. Strong, healthy grower with 
good stems. $1.00.

ing large chrome yellow blooms throughout 
the season. 75c. 
Calvin Coolidge, Jr.—Deep rose pink, each petal 
edged gold. A free branching plant, with 
long stems holding the flowers boldly facing 
out. $1.00.
