fectly healthy and is healthy now. 
Paul Revere (8cerman) (462) (44) 
nis sean. (Edry. mid-season). -A 
beautiful deep rosy red or reddish rose with 
a silken sheen. Opens only: 4-5 at a time but 
is so distinct a color and attractive that it is 
in a class by itself. Nice for small arrangements. 
Paul Robeson (ove) (454) (43) 
foment cemnnr  (IV\id-season) Avery 
nice dark red. Opens 8-9 large blooms on a 
tall strong plant. Burns somewhat in the hot 
sun so it is better to cut if in the bud and open 
it inside. 
Paul Rubens (Salman) (470) (43) 
ae Viid-season) Dark red- 
dish violet with a magenta cast. In other words 
magenta purple. Opens several large blooms

like. Opens 6 large blooms with a total of 
18-20 buds on a long head. Plant gets 4144-5 
feet tall. Opens well and is resistant to the 
sun. A good show flower but its main value 
will be as a cut flower variety and for the 
home garden. Something different and good. 
Personality (ut) (642)(47) Light rose 
— shading somewhat lighter 
toward the center. Opens 7-9 huge blooms 
on a long head. Very tall strong massive 
grower and heavy propagator. Plant deep 
because of its very tall growth. It hasn't the 
clarity of color that | personally like but it will 
make a good exhibition variety and most 
amateurs will like it.

(47) (Mid-season) 
Clear light pink. Opens up to 12 medium large 
47 
blooms with 6 more showing color. Blooms are 
rather closely placed and a spike in full 
bloom is a whole bouquet. This has had a lot 
of publicity which from the performance in my 
own garden this past season | would say it 
deserves. Will be a very popular cut flower.

herein mid-season) .Glear. pink
