KOREAN HYBRIDS 
The following varieties produce single flowers and are, no doubt, very 
desirable in localities where the frost does not occur prior to October 1st. In 
Northern latitudes, they are quite likely to be injured before they are in full 
bloom. The colorings presented in this section are, in many instances, quite 
striking and have been favorably received in many localities.
