nal red with occasional white petals show- 
ing. Strong, rugged growth, straight stems 
and the best of keeping qualities. Blooms 
from midseason on, height 5 feet. (84)

CESKE SKALICA. I.D. Bloom 10x5. Easily the 
largest of all the red and white bicolors.

force feeding. Color pure white, striped and

CHEROKEE. S. C. Bloom 9x5. Clear, light lav-

vigorous and naturally free-branching. Flow- 
ers are held in perfect placement on long 
stems and keep well when cut. Blooms rather 
late in the season, too late to be considered a 
cut flower, except where seasons are long. A 
worthy variety for the exhibition table and 
should be more widely grown. Bush 5 feet.
