HODGES HARRELL NURSERY 
CATHERINE CATHCART—Medium to large formal double, 
light pink, marbled white. Petals curve inward a little, making a 
most pleasing effect. Foliage light green and rounded. Tall, open 
grower, very free bloomer in late midseason. Highly desirable. 
DAIKAGURA—Large deep rose, thick, peony-type flowers, fre- 
quently blotched heavily with white. A very early bloomer. Flowers 
opening in September. Dark green, pointed leaves, heavily serrated. 
Bushy, willowy grower, making a good shrub. The early and long 
blooming season, lovely flowers and shapely shrub make this a highly 
desirable sort.

flowers, marbled with white. Sometimes a plant shows heavily white 
laced through the petals. Stamens in round cluster in center. Long 
narrow medium green foliage. A tall, upright slow grower. A mid-

center. A midseason bloomer. Oval, shiny, medium green leaves.
