LAVENDER AND GOLD 

DISCOVERY (From a Small Bulb) 
RED PLUSH (536) (Baerman) (’43) (Early) (Pic- 
ardy X Flaming Meteor) It gives me great 
pleasure to offer this grand scarlet to my cus- 
tomers. It was a great favorite of mine when 
I grew it as a seedling. The crisp, broad, gen- 
erous florets are like rich red plush. A model 
in sculptored wax. Red Plush and Red Rascal 
are the most beautiful ruffled red glads I have 
seen. A critic’s fancy, Recommended for local 
use as the florets are not rigidly attached. 
Average propagator; healthy grower. (M 2-25c; 
10-$1.00 (S 3-25c; 10-60c) (Blbts. Pkg. 30c) 
RITA MAE (450) (Pommert) ('47) (Midseason) 
(Com. Koehl seedling) Rita Mae is a tall light 
scarlet that builds an imposing spike. Should 
win at the shows. Excellent field performance 
should make it a leading commercial. (L l1- 
$1.00; 10-$8.00) (S 1-50c; 10-$4.00) (Blbts 2-25c; 
10-$1.00) 
ROBINSON CRUSOE (490) (E. H. Lins) (’44) 
(Midseason) (Tunias Triumph X Picardy) The 
climax of the unusual and the unexpected in 
rich orange chocolate marbeling. A _ striking 
novelty but a rather poor performer during the 
summer's heat. Needs water. (L 1-50c; 10-$4.00) 
(S 1-25c; 10-$2.00) (Blbts. 10-25c) 
ROSA VAN LIMA (440) (Pfitzer) ('40) (Early 
Midseason) An extra fine commercial light pink. 
Very uniform and dependable in habits. Ex- 
cellent grower. Beautiful color. Probably the 
number one commercial in our fields. (L 10-65c) 
(M 10-35c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
ROSE CHARM (360) (Fischer) ('48) (Early) Lav- 
ender and Gold X (Maid of Orleans x Picardy)
