Aida. A rich, dark violet-blue. Early. 
ARWINE. Is a beautiful deep wine red. 
Opens 8 at one time and lends itself very 
lovely when arrainged with white flowers. 
Beacon. Is a glowing cherry red with yellow 
throat. Beautiful and a good cut flower. 
Berty Snow. Good lavender from Scotland. 
Very good. 
Betty Nuthall. Late orange-salmon on a 
long spike. 
Bit o’ Heaven. The best orange to date. 
Opens up a long string of bloom. 
Blue Beauty. Light blue with edges of over- 
laid violet blue. Large rounded florets. 
Eight open with twenty buds. For a blue 
it certainly is strong and healthy. 
Break o’ Day. This is the earliest of the 
salmon pinks. A good tall grower and 
very pretty. 
Casablanca. <A very tall ruffled creamy 
white. This is one of the new beautiful 
whites. per doz., $1.50. 
Capt. Boynton. One of the older varieties 
but makes a very handsome bouquet. It 
is a light lavender with a darker throat. 
Cassandra. A huge red blotch on pinkish 
white ground. A novelty and very strik- 
ing. 
Charles Dickens. Fine tall purple. 
Chief Multnomah. An extra large, tall 
smoky red that is very attractive and dif- 
ferent. per doz., $1.50. 
Colonial Maid. A new tall light lavender, 
easily opening up 10 at one time. 
Corona. One of the newer captivating in- 
troductions. It is well named since a 
corona of light rose pink encircles a 
creamy throat. It certainly has a true 
pink picotee edge. Without doubt one of 
the most beautiful of all the older and 
newer varieties. per doz., $2.00. 
C. V. R. is a clear cut light salmon. Open- 
ing up 6 to 7 slightly ruffled 5%-inch 
florets on a straight tall spike. It has 
health and propagation. Mid-season to 
late. Parentage: Albatross X El-Nathan. 
Per doz., $1.50.
