CHIEFTAIN (Patented). This variety closely resembles Hadley, 
but is a brighter though lighter red and retains its rich color 
when fully opened. The color qualities of Talisman appear at 
the base of the bud, diffusing a small amount of yellow into the 
red of the Chieftain, and giving it a slight orange glow. This 
variety has a large flower, sturdy stem, and healthy foliage.

WILLIAM EKAS (Plant Patent No. 177) (F.E. Cremer). A sport 
of Souvenir, tested for four years. The color is apricot salmon 
when open, outer petals tinged to pink. It can be cut when tight 
and will develop perfectly. It keeps in the average home from 
bud to open Rose seven days. Has 35 to 45 petals, and when 
fully opened, will measure 3 in. or more. It is an elegant flower 
in bud for corsage work. A strong, vigorous grower and will 
produce 35 or more good blooms per year. William Ekas will 
average more blooms in the longer grade than shorter lengths. 
Grafts well on Manetti and is a vigorous grower on its own 
roots. Cultural habits are identical with Talisman. In the 
Winter it should be grown at a night temperature of about 
58 degrees. William Ekas is an exceptionally good hot weather 
Rose. Being a strong grower, it will cut some bullheads off the 
first Fall crop, but they will not appear during the Summer and 
Fall months on second year plants.
