Rose Charm (Fischer) (360) (48) (Very 
ane nle = cary) One.of the very 
first to bloom in the garden and as a cut 
flower valuable on this account in addition to 
its beautiful color and light airy grace of 
placement and form. The color is a very pleas- 
ing shade of light rose with large cream 
throat and cream midribs. The only rose colored 
glad in its season. Heavy propagator. Every

Royal Windsor (Beaton) (450) (46) 
nae emits =(Viid-season) | Bright 
spectrum red which to me is more of a pinkish 
than a real red. Opens 8-10 large blooms 
with a total of 20 buds. Good texture, good 
placement and attachment and a color all its 
own. By Ridgeway’s chart the color seems 
more like strawberry pink or salmon scarlet.

kling ruffled black red with small pencil lines on 
the throat petals. Blooms are wide open and 

49

— is a richly beautiful lavender 
that is different. Shades somewhat lighter 
toward the center with a large dark orchid 
lip. Opens up to 8 6” blooms with several 
more showing color. Grows about 41% feet 
tall. Blooms are well placed on a long head. 
When | saw it at Dr. Graff's two years ago it 
thrilled me very greatly. This last season when 
it bloomed in my garden it looked just as good. 
It is one you want to get a start in. Stock is 
still small and so should be profitable for the 
growers who start with it now.
