SECTION No 2—SPECIAL SECTION 
Under this head we describe and list all new varieties that we have not yet classified 
as propagators. We indicate such items as “Not Fated .” Perhaps many or most of those 
will be placed in Section No. 1 after another year or two of testing. This section also 
contains all SLOW PROPAGATORS which were listed last year as propagators C, D and 
E. We wlil so indicate them this season so you will know which are the best as propa¬ 
gators from this SLOW PROPAGATING LIST. 
AT*A VNE (Ivinyon-Gove) First year test. This is the first season we have propagated this 
variety. You will have to be guided by the reports of others. The color is a 
beautiful, light rose. A more complete report will be made next fall. Looks like 
fair propagator.

rian pink.
