Petris Introductions 
INDIAN CHIEF 
We consider this variety one of 
the most outstanding large flowered 
commercials ever introduced being 
ideal in most every way. 
The high rounded blooms averag¬ 
ing 1" or more in diameter are 
closely incurved and possess the 
crisp substance and lasting gualities 
of the well known variety Detroit 
News. 
The color is a deep reddish bronze 
with golden buff reverse and the 
flowers retain this color throughout 
the season. 
A strong and vigorous grower with 
excellent foliage and a heavy stem 
attaining a height of about 5' from 
March propagation. 
Second crown or terminal buds 
reserved Sept. 5th and later produce 
fully double blooms from Nov. 5th 
to 10th. 
Early buds should not be reserved because of the extreme fullness of this 
variety. 
Winner of the A. C. S. Silver Medal for the best large flowered seedling at 
Hartford in 1936. 
We predict Indian Chief will become the standard and most popular mid¬ 
season bronze within a short time.
