GOOD SEEDLINGS COMING 
For 1948 we expect to introduce some of the fol- 
lowing exceptional seedlings. 
BLACK CHERRY 
(1B411) ((Midnight Red x Arabella) x Rich Red.) 
554 Class. We have changed seedlings on this name, 
as this is a much better grower than the one we had 
promised for 1947. As it is a year younger we decid- 
ed to hold until 1948 and have a larger stock for 
introduction. It grows 50” or more tall, with 24” fl. 
hd. and 6” blooms. 19 to 20 buds, opens 9 in field 
with no burning. In 1946 it won Best Seedling at 
Chicago, Ill., show, Blue Ribbon at New York City, 
an “A” or Excellent at Maryland, Blue Ribbon at 
Cleveland, Ohio, H.M. and C.A. Awards E.S.G.S. 
Watch for this at the 1947 shows. This is one of the 
most promising black reds seen as yet, for the giant 
class
