RICH RED 
(1948) 554 Class. 80 days. This is a rich blood red, 
flaked black, with good textured and slightly ruffled 
blooms. It grows very straight and has good place+ 
ment, tho the 6” blooms are slightly crowded, and 
the heavy flower head needs support in the field 
with 9 to 11 open. It is also one of my best breeding 
parents with Black Cherry and Dragons Blood as its 
best known offspring. A fair propagator and germ- 
inator of bulblets, growing about 48” tall, 23” fl. hd., 
6 - 6%” blooms, 20 buds, opens up to 12. A.M. 1943

der spike. There is a faint white pencil line on
