Cheerful. A medium size flower, 
rich, deep pink or red, petals re¬ 
curving as the flower grows older. 
A consistent, profuse bloomer, and 
fine type for any garden. 
Imbricata rubra. A type similar 
to Cheerful but smaller and lighter 
pink. Good. 
Dawn. A hybrid grown in our 
gardens. A beautiful shade of pink, 
fine form and size, recurved petals 
and unfolding from center with no 
stamens showing. Flowers lasting 
two to three weeks. Erect, strong 
grower. 
Ecstasy (Nassisiana ). A four to 
five-inch blossom of wonderful 
form and color of scarlet and often 
variegated. Strong and vigorous 
grower, prolific bloomer (featured 
on front page). 
President Franklin D. Roosevelt. 
A hybrid of our own garden and 
worthy of all commendation. A 
-large, thick flower of a rich crim¬ 
son with a purple sheen as it opens. 
Flowers last two to three weeks. No 
stamens showing. We are proud of 
this production. 
Carmen. Much the same as the 
above. Three to four-inch blossom, 
rich red. Sturdy grower and consis¬ 
tent bloomer; extra good. 
Cl imax. A four-inch flower, rich 
deep pink, very thick, divided into 
a six-pointed star. Strong grower. 
Madalone. Another hybrid from 
our gardens. A smaller edition of 
Climax but deeper color. A fine 
garden type. 
Reine des Fleurs. Delicate rose 
pink; fine size and form, bushy and 
consistent in flower and growth; 
fine. 
Rosita. A good red, a little larger 
than Madalone, but much the same 
form of the six-pointed star. 
Souvenir. A seedling from our 
nursery. Much like Ecstasy but not 
as double. A good red, and sturdy 
grower. 
Anne Laurie. A little gem. Bright 
pink or red. A hybrid from our gar¬ 
dens. A strong grower and a good 
bloomer. While this would be classi¬ 
fied in the Japonica type, it is not 
imbricated.
