KING PETER (Czechoslovakia) Formal decorative. It is

than shown in this new importation. The base is white 
softly overlaid with amethyst and pale rose. Size medium, 
long stems and very fine for cut flowers and baskets.

LOIS WALCHER (Walcher) It is seldom that a new in¬ 
troduction comes to us so universally acclaimed as does 
this new bi-color. Certified at East Lansing and Cin¬ 
cinnati trial gardens beside numerous blue ribbons. 
The color is unusual and striking being amaranth to 
pansy purple at the base with the outer edges of the 
petals sharply contrasted pure white with no blending of 
the two colors. A strong grower of medium height. We 
believe this is the long awaited ideal bi-color. 
Roots $10.00 Plants $3.50
