POCAHONTAS 
PuRPLE SUPREME X MALAY CHIEF 
(85. days in 1947)...Sdlg. M-183. Like Purple Supreme in 
type, markings, reproduction and all except color which is a 
beautiful shade of old rose. Not quite as long cut stem as 
P. Supreme but ample. P. Supreme carries an excess of cut 
stem. Many who have seen Pocahontas like it much better 
than P. Supreme and we are sure it will be a better com- 
mercial and that’s saying a lot. If it wins just one-half the 
amount of blue ribbons that P. Supreme has it will still be 
a wonder and from our careful check on it the past few 
years we have no hesitancy in placing it ahead of Purple 
Supreme. 5) inch floret--showing in 400 class--8 to 10 
open, 6 in color, 21 buds, 26 inch head, 62 inches overall, 
formal type, healthy upright dark green foliage. We are 
truly fond of this fine Indian maid and our customers 
would do well to get in on a start this year. No 6, $3.00; 
Blts., each $0.50 or 5 for $2.00: Blts. also run over a 4 
mesh to the inch screen. 
1947 INTRODUCTIONS 
MEXICALI ROSE 
CHARLES DICKENS X JANET 
(About 85 days)...Nearest black rose of today. Very bril- 
liant eye burner under artificial light. Well liked by all and 
gave us a wonderful performance the past summer under 
bad conditions. Nicely ruffled, wide open, not hooded in 
the ieast. 514 inch, 9 to 10 open, good formal type and 
placement, 22 buds, 26 inch head, 55 inches overall, ex- 
cellent substance and very strong attachment, straight ram 
rod stem, good reproducer. A fine commercial in this color. 
Blue ribbon winner in 1946 at Tri-State. This one is real 
class that you should be growing. We ran short last year, 
so stock is not too plentiful now. No. 3, $4.50; No. 6, $3.00; 
Blts., each $0.60. 
SOUTH SEAS 
GRAY PHANTOM X VAGABOND PRINCE 
(85 days in 1947)...Big 500 class orange gray or light slate 
with deep orange and yellow blotch. Very out of the or- 
dinary in color. Making a hit with all who have grown it. 
Sold well last year on introduction, principally through a 
fine color slide shown by Herbert Evans. 6 inch floret, 8 
open, 20 buds, 28 inch head, 65 inch overall. Very strong 
attachment, straight ramrod stem, very good placement on 
good average. A top notch smoky for the smoky fancier. 
First at Ohio State, Cleveland in 1946. Second three spike
