THE 1942 NOVELTIES 
The following new varieties are only from responsible growers. Such 
growers will not release a new one that isn’t an improvement over an 
existing kind. We realize that not all new ones make good. This might 
sometimes be due to a variety not behaving everywhere as it does with 
the originator, but more often the grower’s cultural methods are faulty. 
An example is the 50 year old variety Bonnaffon that many veteran 
growers have discarded and taken up numerous times. All the following 
are improvements, so better try out such types or colors in which you 
are most interested. Cuttings of all the following introductions are guar- 
anteed free of verticillium infection. 
Prices on Cuttings of all Novelties listed on this and 
following page $15.00 per 100—$125.00 per 1000 
De Petris Introductions 
CAMBRIA 
A free growing commercial variety of 
average size. Form very closely incurved. 
Color intense, golden bronze with a metal- 
lic sheen. Strong wiry stem and small 
foliage which seems to fill out and stiffen 
as the flowers mature. It is very easy to 
grow and quite resistant to disease. Pro- 
duces two blooms to the plant very uni- 
formly. Blooms possess excellent sub- 
stance and ship extremely well. An ex- 
cellent and profitable variety for both 
wholesale and retail grower. Matures 
Oct. 25th. 
PENROD 
Medium-sized pernet yellow. Very fine 
incurved form similar to the old variety 
Bonnaffon. Possesses good substance giv- 
ing the variety good keeping as well as 
good shipping qualities. A free and easy 
grower with good stem and foliage. Will 
produce three blooms per plant with re- 
markable uniformity. A very attractive 
looking variety that should be useful to 
growers desiring moderate size together 
with excellent form and good substance. 
Matures Nov. 10th but can be easily held 
for a week later. 
EUROPA 
An intense cardinal red single of out- 
standing brilliance and exceptional sub- 
stance. It may be grown either as a 
single disbud or as a disbudded spray. 
The color improves any existing red single. 
A very brilliant red on the inside of the 
petal and a gold on the reverse. Europa 
might be said to mark an epoch in red 
singles. Its growth habit is medium in 
vegetativeness. It is fairly easy to grow. 

PENROD. A pernet yellow; good commercial yalue. 
The spray formation is stiff and rigid. 
It must be carefully spaced, carefully 
pruned and accurately disbudded. We be- 
lieve it will well repay any man who will 
give it this kind of cultural treatment. 
Matures Nov. 5th. 
ORANGE BELLE 
Small flowered Pompon with good form 
and substance. Color reddish orange rust. 
Very free growing habit with small but 
very persistent foliage. Good spray form- 
ation on wiry stems which attain a good 
length. This variety is outstanding in 
growth, and the attractiveness of its clean 
stems and foliage. We believe this will 
prove a profitable variety for the grower. 
Matures in late November and early 
December.
