WE ARE INTRODUCING FOR THE OWNER 
THOROSE 
This is a deep rose seedling which has been grown for several 
years and has been highly recommended by florists who have used it. 
We feel that THOROSE is a definite improvement in its color and size 
Glassmoo2: : 
Following are points in its favor. 
—opens 6-8 florets on an 18-20 bud spike 
—superb shipping qualities 
—holds well even in the heat 
—no discoloration on edges in heat or with age 
—fine propagator 
—excellent placement of florets 
—a 100% cutter 
In describing the color of THOROSE we might say it is close to 
Burma, but noticeably lighter in shade. It is nicely ruffled.
