CALIPH—This new introduction is the deepest and richest red to date; 
a deep oxblood red with a velvety sheen that makes it conspicuous. 
Flowers are perfectly formed, double, and carried on vigorous up- 
right stems: 3 ft. tall with me; Blooms early October. 
VENUS—A most attractive shade of rhodanthe-pink. The flower is 
single, 2% inches across, with 3 or 4 rows of petals, It is remark- 
ably free flowering, with slender, wirv branches that carry a mul- 
titude of blooms on generous spray. Commences to flower the very 
first of October. Grows about 3 feet tall. 
AGNES SELKIRK CLARK—A lovely single, blending bronzy pink, apr!- 
cot and salmon. This results in an exquisite touch of Autumn color 
in the garden. Plants are tall, rather graceful in their growth and 
free-flowering. On full flower by Oct. 1st. 
EMBER—Another hardy double Korean. Its double flowers are about 
2% inches in diameter and are of a glowing bronze color that stands 
out conspiciously in any garden. Decidedly hardy, Height about 
3 ft. Blooms here Oct. 10th. 
ROMAN Y—This Korean is a soft glowing red with a bronze tone, which 
effect is heightened by the gold petal reverse which shows on the 
center petals. Blooms are fullv double; will last fully two weeks 
as a cut flower; and are in full bloom first few days of October. 
Height 3 ft. and better, 
VULCAN—A glowing carmine-red which shades to garnet-crimson and 
finally to an attractive bronze-crimson as the flower matures. It 
has a double row of ray-like petals with a conspicuous golden center 
and is slightly fragrarnt. In full flower the first few days of 
October. 
MERCURY—A fine 3 inch single flower which opens a bronzy red and 
changes to a coppery bronze at maturity. Grows about 2 feet tall 
and is an early bloomer. 
THALIA—A compact, bushy plant that grows about 18 inches tall and 
is covered with small duplex flowers of a lively orange shade, An 
Early blooming variety. 
HESTIA—Semi-double flowers are very freely produced. The color is 
a delicate rose pink with a white halo around the small yellow dise. 
It is very attractive. Grows to medium height and blooms early, 
SYMPHONY—A mauve-rose with soft coppery rose tints, and the whole 
overcast with a sheen like damask silk. I agree with the introducer 
that it is hard to describe the color and that it is rightly called 
“Symphony’’, and it is a symphony of colors. The flowers are 3 
inches across, double, nicely formed and carried on heavy upright 
stems. With me it grew 4 feet and made a handsome plant. In 
full bloom the first week of October. 
MANDARIN—A delightful combination or blend of coral, salmon, cop- 
per and bronzy gold. It seems to have an irridescent glow that 
changes with the degree of lisht—never exactly the same. The 
flowers are perfectly formed. 2% inches across and are carried pro- 
fusely on erect wiry stems. The plant is compact in habit of growth 
and inclined to be somewhat dwarf, attaining a height of about 2 
_ feet. In full flower the first week of October. 
SALADIN—A most unusual color—even for the Korean hybrids, being 
best described as a Chinese or Oriental red shading to coral-red 
with coppery tones showing on the petal reverses. The blossoms 
are 3 inches across and have 4 rows of petals. In full fiower b 
October 12th. u ower by
