POCOHONTAS 
PuRPLE SUPREME X MALAY CHIEF 
(About 85 days)...Like Purple Supreme in type, mark- 
ings and reproduction ability. Color is a beautiful shade 
of old rose. Not as tall and does not open as many as 
Purple Supreme. This variety did not give us as good per- 
formance as usual the past summer and the planting stock 
received the worst damage of anything in our planting. 
On top of this it developed a rogue of which there were 
three in over 70 to bloom. So for this reason we are offer- 
ing only blts, this year and only from stock that bloomed 
and of which we are sure are true. Blts., each .30.
