1937 INTRODUCTIONS 
BABY FRANCIS 
Miniature Decorative 
BABY FRANCIS. We are proud to introduce this pink 
Miniature which was produced in our own garden. The 
picture tells the story much better than words. It won 
for us in New York for the best commercial Miniature 
arrangement and we feel sure that it will win many more 
such awards as it is ideally suited for this purpose. Long 
upright stems; blooms about 2% to 3 inches and are 
produced in such abundance as to almost hide the bush. 
The color is amaranth with perhaps a suggestion of deep 
orchid. The demands for it have far exceeded our great¬ 
est expectations and we are now far sold out of roots for 
1937. We will have only a limited number of plants.

MARY TALLMADGE (Peck-Ailing) (I. D.) It is diffi¬ 
cult these days to get a variety which is distinct or an 
improvement in color over existing varieties. This is 
decidedly different, being a peculiar old rose shaded mul¬ 
berry pink with a smoky overcast. The growing habits 
are ideal, long stems, strong plants with heavy leaf 
resisting foliage. It may be grown as large as the best 
of them and the blooms are produced freely. The late 
Derrill Hart grew it in 1935 and gave us enthusiastic 
reports on it. He desired to place it on his Honor Roll 
but withheld it at our request as our stock was then 
limited. Roots S10.00 Plants $5.00 
BRIGHT STAR (I. I).) (Sigismond.) The colors of this 
new introduction are extremely bright and striking. The 
dominant color is scarlet red with the reverse of the 
petals sulphur to buff yellow. Flowering habit prolific, 
heavy stems and the blooms facing on side. Size 8 to 10 
inches. Roots $7.50 Plants $3.75
