ANACONDA 
V. R. DePetris Introduction 
A large-flowered commercial incurved possessing ex- 
cellent substance and color. It is a free and easy 
grower with vigorous habit and resistance to disease. 
Forms clean, strong, medium tall stems with beautiful 
dark green medium-sized foliage. Produces large 
blooms uniformly from any bud. Flowers do not shat- 
ter nor bruise easily from shipping or handling. The 
color is deep coppery red with golden bronze reverse, 
a shade very similar to the old variety David Roy. 
Date of maturity November 10th to November 15th. 
This variety will appeal to both the retailer and to the 
grower. It will produce two good blooms to the plant 
with unusual uniformity. When shaded for early Octo- 
ber flowering the color is a rich golden copper. We 
recommend this variety for its ease of culture, its high 
quality of blooms and its appealing color.
