extra broad florets. Can be grown 14 by 5 
inches. Most profuse bloomer and a prodig¬ 
ious root maker, even from plants. Stumpp 
and Walter of New York, after seeing a 
flat of this variety growing on Long Island, 
bought 300 roots for Spring delivery, with 
an option on 300 more up to May 1st. Why 
did they buy this? There is a reason!

Becky Thatcher: Our own raising. In 
color between Buckeye Bride and Josephine 
G. Basal color greenish yellow suffused 
with pink. A flower of surpassing beauty. 
Not a large flower. Can be grown to 8 
inches. Characterized by strong, stiff, thick 
stems 6 to 9 inches above the first leaves. 
Never shows an open centre. Flowers erect 
or facing. Lasts in water longer than any 
variety we grow. We think this flower has 
immense possibilities as a cut bloom, and 
will be a moneymaker to those who grow it 
for this purpose. Received a score of 84 at 
East Lansing Trial Grounds this year.
