PREMIER’S WINSOME. A clear, light mellow 
pink. Bloom 11x6. Bush 4% feet. This is a 
very reliable and free bloomer, many canes 
producing the very large and lasting flow- 
ers steadily over a long season. All plants 
for us are strong and vigorous. We rate it 
the highest of any large pink. (88) 
Root or Pot Clump, $2.00; Plant, $0.75 
RITA WELLS. Bloom 12x7. Bush 5 feet. The 
earlier flowers, in midseason, are a light 
pink blending on a clear buff. The later 
flowers almost clear buff. This was for us 
the producer of the biggest flowers we ever 
grew. Two of them were 14x8. It is a strong 
grower, a good root maker, and considering 
its great size of flower, a very free bloomer.

BETTE DAVIS. Bloom, 7x4%. Bush 4 feet. 
Lilac rose or a deep orchid pink. For high 
quality of flower and stem; for reliability

has no superior. It has an almost perfect 
habit of growth and from midseason on it 
presents an astonishing array and abund- 
ance of flowers. It is not a big root maker, 
but we have no difficulty keeping the roots 
100%. (87)
