*XABENAKI (E). Vivid orange that will not 
fade or burn in the hottest sun, Opening 6 or 
more well arranged blooms on a 41!/-foot

when bioomed late.

blotch, opening many huge ruffled blooms.

*ALGONQUIN (E). Brilliant glowing scarlet 
with 8-10 wide open, ruffled needle-point 
florets on a tall straight plant of exceptional 
size and vigor; one of the finest early com- 
mercial reds. 2 for 20c; dozen $1.10 
*XAVALON (M). Bright rosy pink shading to 
a creamy throat, with 8 or 10 nicely ruffled 
blooms open on a long head. A comparatively 
new and very fine variety on every count, with 
the single fault that it will sometimes be found 
to crook in hot weather. 
2 for 35c; dozen $1.80 
BAGDAD (E). Very large smoky of a shade 
not found in any other glad, soft old rose or 
rose-ash. Not recommended for late planting

weather. 3 for 25c; dozen 90c 
BARCAROLE (LM). Clear grenadine orange, 
of smooth texture and slightly ruffled, 6-7 
opening at Once on nice straight stems; one 
of the few good ones in this color. 
3 for 25c; dozen 90c 
BEACON (M). Bright rose-doree scarlet ac- 
cented by a large cream or yellow blotch ex- 
tending deep in throat, a spectacular com- 
bination which has made it a leader in the cut 
flower market. 3 for 25c; dozen $1.00 
BETTY NUTHALL (L). Standard late salmon 
pink with yellow throat, tall and strong. An- 
other old-timer still valuable for late cutting.

class cut flower and rapid propagator.

rich glistening black-red with many open on 
a long head. Very showy and a strong grower, 
highly recommended. 2 for 20c; dozen $1.10

this class, fine for cutting or exhibition.

for its name-sake, with small scarlet blotch in 
cream throat. The large petals are distinctively
