GAIETY (Picture Opposite) Extra dwarf and compact 
form, so even that every plant looks like a duplicate of the 



other and with large, well fringed, full double flowers. 
The color is beautifully striped and mottled with bright 
rose and white. Especially suitable for pot. The percentage 
of small doubles are extremely low. 
ROSY-CARMINE IMPROVED (World Beauty) 
We keep improving. on the strain so our 1949 seed 
was better than 1948 crop and we have confidence 
our 1950 seed will be much better than our 1949 
crop. They are larger flowered, more doubled and 
are more uniform in their dwarfness than past season. 
THE VEIN Flowers are 31/2 inches across. Color 
soft lavender ground purple. One of our older strains " 
of nice, dwarf, compact habit. In 1948 trials, we 
found this to have same color as “ Minuet” with only 
difference being ours is dwarfer in growth.
