addition .$ 6.00

double dark red, small bloom, less than 5 inches, 
high built flower, in form very distinct. On tall

grower. Some like it, some don’t. 2.00 
Salem. A red double, medium size, for trial for cut 
flower purposes. Has good substance, is fra¬ 
grant, and nice stem for cutting. Not perfect.. 3.00 
Viking. Full double dark red, yery brilliant. Very
