the brown-red and red-purple side, are 
later and stronger deep reds, but we 
have been having blooms from some of 
our own seedlings crossing the best of 
the reds with the fine large and vigorous 
Sass sorts, has given us some reds, pinks 
and bicolors that seem a decided im- 
provement to us. And seedlings from 
Painted Lady, a new break in cinnamon 
brown with open form and fluted ruffles 
seem especially charming in tone and 
form. This leads to the conclusion that 
we can hope for better and larger flow- 
ers and improved branching. Painted 
Lady is a very charming large open 
flower with graceful fluting. Here it 
stems up to 30 inches with short branch- 
ing and 6 to 10 flowers on stiff stems, 
with a lack of graceful character but 
seedlings from it and the better Sass sort 
are taller and with much more graceful 
character, better branching and with 
some new color tones, better reds and 
pinks that seem more nearly true pink 
and quite bright. It seems incredible 
that Russell has not known Herperus, 
Moonbeam, Star of Gold and Chengtu 
as these are taller, much more graceful 
and so much wider in branching that 
we have single stems on Hesperus up 
to 60 inches and with fifty burs, and it 
would seem impossible that Mr. Sass 
should be denied the use of Fulva Rosea 
and Rosalind when they were first im- 
ported, but here we are between these 
two sources and we are thankful that 
we have been allowed to cross these 
finer, more brilliant colors with the vig- 
orous Sass sorts, and it seems likely the 
results may be some new and better and 
larger reds, pinks and bitones. 
By selecting hardy, vigorous growing 
sorts we can have abundant bloom and 
fast increase even in our hot and dry 
climate.
