Phyllis Kelway (Kelway 1908) 9.0 We have always admired this semi-double variety 
due to its daintiness and artistic makeup. Color is rose pink, paling to white in 
center. Hollow, cupped form at first showing many stamens, later developing 
a fiat crown which covers the imperfect collar. Faintly fragrant. Medium 
height. Very floriferous. $1.25 
Pink Charm (Kelsey 1936) Early, double, soft flesh-pink. Broad outer petals around 
shorter, twisted and overlapping petals. Fragrant. $4.00 
Pink Lustre (Kelsey 1936) Semi-double, flat flower of light pink. Early. Flowers 
much the same formation as Marie Jacquin. $2.50

pink, paling with age; a trifle darker in the deep, cupped center. Possesses a 
rich, spicy fragrance. Medium height, floriferous, strong stems and good foliage.

Queen of Hamburg (H. P. Sass 1937) 8.96 A very full double, bright, gleaming pink. 
The flower is immense, yet so perfectly formed that it is not rough or ungainly. 
Stems are tall and strong. A free, dependable bloomer with healthy, heavy, 
dark green foliage. A recent introduction of much merit. $4.50 
Rare Carving (Kelsey 1935) Loosely formed, medium pink, semi-double. Large 
yellow stamens. Tall, strong stems. Originally named Spring Beauty but Col. 
Nicholls had priority to the name. $2.50 
Reine Hortense (Calot 1857) 8.7 This variety remains one of the best commercials 
we grow. It is a lovely, tall midseason rose-pink. Crisp, fluffy petals of trans- 
lucent texture, notched and silvered at the tips. There is an occasional fleck of 
crimson in the center of the flower. Sometimes referred to as President Taft. 
$1.00 
Rose Shaylor (Shaylor 1920) 9.1. Pale flesh-pink, tinted with rose-pink, lighter 
at the edges and shading to creamy yellow at base of petals. Central petals 
strongly marked at edges with crimson, Flat flower, opening hollow in center, 
displaying a creamy flesh-pink surrounded by a band of similar richly colored 
petals. Has mild fragrance. This is one of Mr. Shaylor’s best originations.

Shirine (Dr. F. C. Brethour 1936) Double, late midseason. Delicate blush of splendid 
form, $4.50 
Silvia Saunders (Saunders 1921) 8.7 Semi-double type. Rather small but a delight- 
ful, extra early, cup-shaped, bright, clear rose-pink, fading lighter toward the 
center of flower, which is filled with yellow stamens, among which the very 
bright pink stigmas make a conspicuous pattern. Dwarf habit of growth, good 
grower and a very abundant bloomer. Odor not particularly pleasant but it is a 
most delightful and charming subject for flower arrangement. Very dainty and 
alluring. $3.00 
Sistie (Auten 1933) A late, double, high-built pink, fading white. Strong rose 
fragrance. Not yet rated officially. oa $2.00 
Therese (Dessert 1904) 9.54 <A favorite for many years, in fact for 42 years it has 
enjoyed an enviable popularity as a garden and show flower. The bloom is ex- 
ceptionally large, composed of extremely long petals of pale, translucent, old 
rose-pink, paling toward the base and illumined by a golden yellow glow in the 
depths. Heavy foliage, strong stems and a free, dependable bloomer.
