SEA FOAM (Reiter) — A beautiful smal] 
bush with medium sized crispy flowers of 
semi-double petalage and upspreading se- 
pals. The tube and sepals are white and 
sometimes flushed pale rose and the pet- 
als are marbled dark petunia purple and 
white tinted rose in the manner observa- 
ble on receding ocean waves. The flower 
is of a crisp, prim character which makes 
it desirable for those who scrutinize their 
flowers clcsely. A flower of jewel quality. 
Should have shade. 
SHARON (Tiret)—This semi-trailing va- 
riety named for the originator’s daughter 
is of splendid growth and excellent fo- 
liage with large flowers in the “warm 
red” group. The flowers are double and 
well tormed with a medium tube and 
broad reflexed sepals of palest scarlet. 
The petals are Rose Bengal splashed with 
extensions of geranium lake at the base. 
Blooms early and tolerates some sun. 
Garden tested. 
VALENTINE (Reiter) — This 
is-a large 
semi-double of a new form and coloring. 
It is notable because of its very long tube 
and huge widespreading sepals. The tube 
and sepals are white slightly flushed rose 
and the inner surface of the sumptuous 
sepals is of an iridescent granular qual- 
ity. The semi-double spreading corolla is 
of the deepest Imperial purple fading to 
white at the base of each petal. As the 
flowers mature they fade to deep Cycla- 
min purple. Growth is strong and loose 
and the plant is free-blooming for flowers 
of such size. A glorified Nonpareil with 
extraordinary sepals and huge size. It 
should be tested as a hanging variety. 
YULETIDE (Tiret)—A tall upright double 
red and white. Giant flowered with a 
large globular creamy white corolla, 
crimson tube and sepals.
