PURPLE SUPREME (470) (Wilson) (Early Mid- 
season) A tall clear purple that has been win- 
ning its way into the commercial field. An 
excellent basket flower because of its long 
flowerheads. Beautiful color. Color peeled dur- 
ing wet weather. (L .20; 10-$1.75) (M 2-.25; 
10-$1.00) (S 10-.50) Blbts. .25 Pkg. 
RED CHARM (452) (Butt) (Early Midseason) A 
charm of red, indeed, and a very important 
variety. Opens a generous number of bright, 
round, well placed florets on tall, willowy 
spikes. Destined to be a must-have in every 
one’s garden. I am partial to Red Charm. (L 
ead 10-$1.00) (M 10-.70) (S 10-.35) Blbts. .25 
Pkg. 
ROSA VAN LIMA (440) (Pfitzer) (Early Midsea- 
on) An extra fine comercial light pink. Very 
uniform and dependable in habit. Excellent 
grower. Beautiful color. Probably the number 
one commercial in our fields. (L 10-.65) (M 
10-.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
ROSE DELIGHT (462) (Jack) (Early) A _ light 
rose seedling of Early Rose that has all the 
qualities of a good cut flower. Paler than 
Early Rose. Most people prefer the _ color. 
Slender, stiff, wiry stems. We cut thousands of 
nice spikes of this first class commercial for 
the florists last summer. Good-bye Early Rose. 
Recommended whole-heartedly. (L 3-.25; 10- 
.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Bibts. .20 pkg. 
ROSE GEM (362) (Fischer) (Early) Rose Gem is 
a euphony of color and style. Three to five 
waxy, distinctly blotched 312-inch florets are 
gracefully arranged on slender stems. A re- 
freshing medium rose with a large sharp cream 
blotch. A vigorous grower and a runaway 
propagator. Burns in hot weather. Fragrant.

pkg. 
ROSE O’ DAY (566) (Fischer) (Early Midseason) 
Rose O’Day is distinctive in color, massive in 
size, and robust in growth. It opens ten large 
rosy lavender florets in a formal double row 
arrangement on tall arrow-like spikes. Plants 
are especially robust and make excellent 
growth from bulblets. We had a profusion of 
nice spikes of this unusual colored glad last 
summer. Note the husky foliage of Rose O’Day 
in the picture on the back cover. These were 
5’s and 6’s. (L 1-.75; 10-6.00) (M .50; 10-4.00) 
(S .35; 10-2.80) Blbts. 5-.25; 10-.40.

ROSY MORN (442) (Riley) (Early Midseason) 
Rosy Morn is a shimmering clear coral pink 
with a large white throat that won a place as 
a cut flower in our gardens last summer. Did 
well under adverse conditions. Unusually round 
in form. Brilliant color. Similar to Beacon 
and Valor. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10- 
.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
RUFFLED BEAUTY (410) (Prestgard) (Midsea- 
son) Light yellow of unusual personality and 
ruffling. Opens several blooms on a medium 
length stem. Lovely for floral pieces. Our 
leading cut-flower yellow during midseason. 
Slightly mixed with Bagdad. (L 10-.65) (M 10- 
.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 

“Received order of bulbs from you today and 
I was surprised as well as pleased. I want to 
thank you for so generous count of all varieties 
ordered. I especially want to thank you for the 
bulb of Myrth. I received a far better deal than 
I expected and I shall certainly remember you 
with an order next year.’’—Dewey L. Sleezer,

ROSE O’DAY 

“There are two of your seedlings that stood out 
in my mind very well. Of these the first was a 
small lavender (Wedgewood) that really was a 
honey if it only grew larger. The other was the 
ruffled white 614-41.’’ (To be introduced next 
year.)—Dr. F. X. Graff, IIl.
