ROYAI. OMAR*—(Christ)—Bll—Very fine artistic glad 
of richest salmon pink; self; ruffled and fluted; opening 
40 big round florets; a good spike; stock scarce until this 
year. I want you to bloom this some time. If you like rich, 
pink, you will love this one. Winner down in New Zealand. 
ROSEX—(Palmer)—B12—Light rose approaching salmon; 
up to 8 open; stock scarce yet; short. 
RAMSAY MacDONALD*—(Pfitzer)—B27—Clear purple 
self; probably the best of its type; opens 7 on tall spike; 
good size; good propagator; color class is weak and this 
is a fine addition. 
RATANA*—(Burns)—C20—Heavy ruffled, large florets; 
$iot many buds; 5 open; graceful; clear dark maroon or 
blackish red; glossy appearance; a duplicate of a ruffled 
fluted Moorish King. 
RAQTJEL*—(Nitchman)—B4—This variety is a giant in 
its class; opens 6 to 9; immense florets on tall spike; 
Intended to be a cream, but is rather deep; net deep 
enough for light yellow; not pretty unless in a WHOLE 
BASKET OR GROUP, then it’s fine. An immense propa¬ 
gator. The color is not just what I would select if doing it 
over again, although reports from many say it is well 
liked. Tastes differ; mine changed maybe—but, anyway, it 
js here to stay, rest assured. 
RECOVERY*—(Blake)—A23—Blake’s best introduction 
anfl a real genuine coming commercial. Soft salmon red; 
mo marks; up to 9 open, well expanded florets; straight 
spike that stands over 100 degrees heat fine; blooms from 
bits, too; have good stock of this. INVEST. 
ROSE STANDISH*—(Kinyon)—C21—Fine clear shade of 
light rose, resembling Alayne; think maybe sister seedlings. 
♦Six open; ruffled some; tall; fine florists’ variety; beautiful 
buds. 
RAPTURF*—(Palmer)—Cll—Another fine one by Palmer. 
Medium salmon with widespread creamy blotch; tall; fine
