RED CHERRY (Roberts) 
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 a Picardy and should be in class 550 instead of 450 as we had classed it. A good 
propagator of bulblets that germinate and grow well. Early, about 70 days. 
Each: Large, $1.00; Medium, 60c; Small, 40c. Bulblets: 2 for 25c

ships and is an extra fine commercial.
