the color intense; the substance such that it stands rain and 
sun. The plant is vigorous and well-branched. 3 feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.00 
THREE CHEERS (Cook) 
A sharply contrasting blue bicolor, the semi-flaring falls a 
dark blue-violet, the standards pale violet. It is a fine addition 
to the blue bicolors, a group much smaller than we wish it to 
be. 31% feet. $6.00; 3 for $15.00 
THREE OAKS (Whiting) 
A beautiful blend of mallow pink and copper with a blue 
blaze below the beard. The sturdy flowers are large and flaring. 
A show specimen in any garden. 3 feet. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
TIFFANJA (DeForest) 
A yellow plicata that, because of the pattern made by the 
brown spots, has a clean appearance. It is different and attrac- 
tive. The flowers are large and spreading and are held on well 
branched stalks. 2% feet. $1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $12.00

marked. It always attracts attention. 2% feet.

brown coloring. It appeals very strongly to those who see it. 
2% to 3 feet. See color illustration, page 9. $5.00 
TOURNAMENT OF ROSES (Milliken) 
A very large pink blend. The falls are strong and semi-flar- 
ing, the standards arched and tirm. It is of medium height. 
We think that there is a place for it in the garden and also in 
the hands of the hybridist. 2% feet. $3.50; 3 for $9.00 
TOURNAMENT PRINCESS (Milliken) 
This was exhibited for the first time to some of our visitors 
in the spring of 1947 and met with enthusiastic approval. The 
coloring is a soft and unusual combination of two shades of 
light violet. The firmly built flowers are large (7 inches), semi- 
flaring and are carried on well branched stalks. 4 feet. 
$6.00; 3 for $15.00 
TOURNAMENT QUEEN (Milliken) 
A bright fuchsia-toned flower, firmly built and flaring, which 
spreads seven inches or more. The texture and lustre is like 
that of closely woven fine-thread nyion. The petals are ser- 
rated and are flexed enough so that portions of them are al- 
ways high-lighted. The flexing in the standards makes it pos- 
sible to look into the flower at the beautiful broad styles. These 
are chartreuse with a fuchsia ridge down the middle. Very fra- 
grant. Early. The plants are vigorous. 3 feet. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.50; 12 for $18.00

semble washed silk. The beard and center are of old gold.

hither spot in the garden. 3 feet. $1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $11.00 
VELVO (See Dwarfs, page 11.) 
VENTURA (Walker) 
The first time that we saw this flower it impressed us as 
both beautiful and unusual. The large, flaring flowers are 
somewhere between a heliotrope and a pink mulberry through- 
out except for the hafts or shoulders and these are reddish- 
orange. These showy patches blend smoothly with the prevail- 
ing color of the flower and add richness to the coloring and 
eliminate all reticulation. The plant is vigorous. 3 feet.
