trying.

variety Rosea. Rosea made very tall plants 
with a huge spike of bloom in a pink shade.

it is nearer 460. Early midseason. Unusual 
shade of rose lavender that opens up to 10 
blooms on a long spike. Tall strong plant. A 
fine exhibition variety and grand for cut 
flowers. This appears better to me every year

a late planting came in that was very fine. We

something different and really good.

were simply beautiful.”
