brightened by slightly silvery tips. Fragrance pleasant but weak. Stiff stems, 
good foliage. $2.50

Felix Crousse (Crousse 1881) 8.4 A dependable, attractive red that has given satis- 
faction for many years. A variety that will stand the test of time for as many 
years as Felix Crousse has, surely must be good. A great commercial variety 
and holds in storage with the best of them. Color is briliant crimson, of even 
tone and silky luster. Late midseason bloomer and for that reason it has added 
value. Foliage good, put the stems are not as strong as we would like.
