AUGUST MOON 
(Sdl. 1141) (June Bride x Mary Damaris) 510 Class. 
80-85 days to bloom. We have never had a seedling, 
excepting Black Cherry that has caused as much 
comment and interest at the shows as this huge 
light yellow. While the spike lacks the required buds, 
it will stretch to make a balanced flowerhead when 
fairly well grown: The color is purest light yellow 
with no marking or flaking. The blooms are round 
with slightly frilled edges and are of good texture: 
Facing and spacing are very good and attachment 
is good, It has a very straight, strong, wiry spike, 
with no crooks as yet..Upright very green foliage. 
The plant is healthy and propagation and germina- 
tion of bulblets is fair. It will make an excellent 
florist cut flower when stock is available. Perform- 
ance—up to 60” tall, 26” to 28” flowerhead, 6%” 
florets, up to 15 buds,-6 open. 
EACH—$4.00 any size.

BLACK CHERRY 
((Midnight Red x Arabella) x Rich Red) 554 Class. 
85 days. Black Cherry has been called the best black 
red, any size, anywhere, by experts and fanciers who 
have judged or grown it this last season. I have 
never had it burn in the field under the most severe 
conditions. With ordinary field culture it grows 50” 
or more tall, with 24” flowerhead and 6” blooms, 19 
to 20 buds, opening 9 in the field. The color is iden- 
tical to that of a ripe black sweet cherry. At this 
years New York State Shows it won ist R.I. and 
Best R.I. at Rochester; Best New York Introduction, 
Ist Open (8 spikes), Ist R.I. at Elmira; Ist R.I. at 
Oneida E.S.G.S. Annual; and 1st Open and Ist R.I. 
at Binghamton International Show. It is an easy, 
very healthy and profilic grower with excellent 
bulblet germination. Plenty of bulblets on bulblet 
growth and small bulbs, but few from large bulbs. 
It always has a straight strong stem. with excellent 
foliage. The very well placed florets are of good 
texture, slightly wavy, well attached, and are slight- 
ly overlapping to make a beautiful exhibition spike. 
It is a promising seed and pollen parent, judging 
from the results observed in the past two seasons. 
EACH—Large $4.00 Med. $3.00 Sm. $2.00
