Curtis Introductions 
Dorothy S. Rowe. Large tall deep cerise 
pink about three tints deeper than Pink 
Radiance. Blooms early. 2.00 
Spring Morn. Medium to large blooms, 
good stems, medium height. A very fine 
clear flesh pink, without a blotch except 
for a trace of deeper color. 2.00 
Rose Glow. Watermelon pink, medium 
to large blooms, height medium. — 1.50 
Color similar to Glowing Rose but blooms later. This is the 
second watermelon pink we have introduced but we believe 
they are needed as Wunderkind is often short lived. 
G. I. Joe. Watermelon red, blooms med- 
ium to large, height medium. A distinctly 
new tint. The color is so clear that view- 
ed either in sun or shade it vibrates as if 
the light came from within. 2.00

medium deep red free from orange. 1.50
