Pink Supreme.—Amazon. The flowers are 
perhaps a little larger than Pink Beauty 
and a little darker in center. The foliage 
is either or both types, Supreme and 
Amazon. $2.75. 
Purple Prince. Fils. are a rich, clear vio- 
let-purple, perhaps royal purple, freely 
produced. Light green, flat pointed 
leaves of large proportions. $1.50. 
Red Bicolor. Some consider this the same 
as Bicolor but two upper petals appear 
to be a little darker and some difference 
in the entire color tone and foliage 
slightly different. It is a question we 
can’t decide. Many varieties have bi- 
Span flowers but are not all alike. 
Red Head. Fls. red-violet. We think it 
more red than Mary Wac but neither is 
: true red. Both are desirable varieties. 
1.50. 
Red Head Supreme. Fils. like Red Head 
but with Supreme type of foilage. A new 
variety. This will not be ready to send 
out until late July. We advise you to 
book your order now as stock is limit- 
ed. $2.25. 
Sailor Boy. A distinctly different variety 
with fine medium light blue flowers. 
$1.50. 
Sapphire. Fis. light blue-violet, but not 
quite sapphire-blue. Very formal, hence 
most pleasing. Ovate-cordate leaves, 
bright green above rosy white on under 
side. A good house plant. $1.50. 
Sky Blue. (Tinted Lady). Fls. white 
overlaid with grey blue, a sky-blue color 
and unusual. Flowers profusely. Leaves 
pale green and tinted wine on under 
side. $1.75. 
White Lady. (Patented) Medium sized, 
pure snow white flowers, with a yellow 
eye in center. Usually crowded among 
leaves and prolific. Leaves are ovate 
with shallow crenations. Light dull green 
above, nearly white beneath. $1.25. 
White Supreme—Amazon. Like Pink Su- 
preme this variety has both Supreme 
and Amazon characteristics. Flowers 
are pure white. Leaves almost round, 
very large crenate edges, almost flat or 
edges sometimes turned up a little. $2.75
