Beauty Clinic (WiLson) (430) (Mid-season) Beautiful ruffled light salmon.

at the shows. 
Bengasi (CavE) (530) (Mid-season) A fine clean pink shade with white throat 
eee Oe ~=—soon:~ which are a few inconspicuous lines. Large beautifully ruffled blooms 
with many open. Tall strong grower. A great show flower and should become popular as 
a commercial. Sometimes crooks in hot weather but is especially good in the fall when some 
other kinds are not so good.

qualities but with clear color and no feather.

—— giving the appearance of bronze. Opens 5 somewhat ruffled blooms at a 
time. Rather short grower but we have found it in our flower shop a very valuable early
