seasons. It possesses unusually fine exhibition characteristics. Fifteen open blossoms 
is not uncommon and the well-proportioned spike will have from 26-28 buds. Color

Afton (Twomey) 
A pure clear pink with a white throat. For consistency, 
igor, uniformity straightness and bloom from small sizes, 
this leaves little to be desired in a commercial pink. It has 
the stiff clean growth and thick heat-resistant petals of 
Laidley. Fast propagator.

grower.

rose for decorative purposes. It proved our best seller to 
florists the past season. Color is a soft creamy shell-pink, 
never marred by flecking. Opens 9-12 florets on an 18-21 
bud spike. Strong vigorous grower and rapid propagator.

future. 1941 Blue Ribbon winner at Boston.

Margaret Beaton (Twomey) 
This variety has instant color appeal and is a consistent 
producer of tall, sturdy spikes. Color is snowy white, with 
a very small vermilion-pink blotch deep in the throat which 
adds to its distinctiveness. Margaret Beaton needs very little 
introduction as it has already made a name for itself.
