RED CHARM (Butt) (EM) Of the older reds we consider this the 
best. A fine commercial cut flower variety, with a long list of 
show winnings to its credit as well. Growing and propagating 
habits all to the good, and it opens a long ribbon of color on fine 
spikes. One of the best Canadian originations. 
L .10, M .06, S .04, Bulblets 100—.30, 1000—$2.00 
RED CHERRY (Roberts) (E) Our 1946 introduction, now being in- 
creasingly recognized as a coming commercial scarlet. A smooth 
bright scarlet red with a faint rosy undertone and a cherry red 
throat. 6-7 large, round, lightly frilled florets open on a tall 
spike that is always straight. Comes about as near being a red 
Picardy as anything we have seen—in fact one report stated that 
it grows as large as Picardy and should be in class 550 instead 
of 450 as we had classified it. A good propagator of bulblets 
that germinate and grow well. Early, about 70 days. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10—$1.80, 100—$14.00, 
1000—$100.00 
RED RASCAL (Graff) (M) Large ruffled red with white lines. Re- 
minds one somewhat of Crimson Tide; probably a little larger 
and with more formal placement. A red that has performed well 
for us, a fairly good propagator. 
M $2.00, S $1.00, Bulblets .30, 10—$2.40 
ROSEA (Errey) (EM) Large Picardy type spikes, but a different 
color, a light rose pink not far from that of Miss Wisconsin. We 
believe Rosea to be one of the best Australian originations. We 
have grown it for years, but haven’t listed it before because our 
starting stock was mixed and we have just been able to get it © 
cleaned up. Placement and attachment not always perfect, but 
mostly fine spikes. A good propagator. 
M .35, S .25, Bulblets 4—.20, 10—.40, 100—$3.00, 250—$6.00 
ROBINSON CRUSOE (Lins) (M) An odd smoky that is admired by 
many people. A little dull appearing, and of medium height as 
it grows here. Quite an interesting “‘marbled” coloring. 
M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.25 
ROSEGLOW (Klein) (M) A new glad of rather different color, a soft 
but bright salmon rose. A little on the order of Harmau but 
probably an improvement in color and with the lightly frilled 
round florets better attached to the stem, It made a good im- 
pression in its first blooming here last summer. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
ROYAL GARNET (Haring) (E) Hardly seems to belong with the 
black reds, being some darker than Red Charm but with a gar- 
net red undertone. Should be a better florist flower than those 
that are too dark. Medium-tall, it seemed better than usual last 
season. Opens 5 or 6 large flowers at a time. Just a fair propa- 
gator. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.80, 25—$1.60 
It is a pleasure to receive your bulbs, they are so clean. We got 
117 bulblets from the one bulb of JUNE DAY, and the flower was 
lovely. I also saw RED CHERRY at a show and it was grand.
