NOVELTY SECTION—DE 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 averaging 7" or more in diameter are closely 
incurved and possess the crisp substance and lasting qualities of the 
well known variety Detroit News. 
The color is a deep reddish bronze with a 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. 
Price for Rooted Cuttings: $2.50 per ten, $15 per 100, $125 per 1000
