CAPTAIN BLOOD. Dormant. 
This plant was sent to several growers 
in scattered areas throughout the United 
States, and the comments it brought 
were the same as from the visitors in our 
fields—wonderful beyond words. Its ex- 
tremely wide petals, so full they are 
almost rounded, are a beautiful shade of 
glistening velvety red with a_ slightly 
deeper, wide, rich eye zone blending to a 
lovely brown-red. ‘The sepals are a 
shade lighter, with pencil veins. Its 
throat is light chrome, shading to the 
deepest green in the center. The flowers 
keep far into the night. [ was determined 
not to release this variety until I had 
sufficient stock, regardless of much pres- 
sure by gardening enthusiasts. Put this 
down as one of my prides. 5-inch bloom. 
Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $3.00. 
GREAT MOMENTS. Dormant. 
This lovely rich Chinese red gleaming 
in the hottest sun is really hard to describe. 
While it is not a large flower, being only 
31% inches across, it’s one of the most 
profuse-blooming things you could im- 
agine. How a color can be so brilliant 
and yet so subdued is hard for me to 
describe, but that’s the way it is, and it 
will be a red in your garden you will 
always love. Ht. 214 ft. June, July. $3.00. 
NOKOMIS. Evergreen. 
This giant variety with its huge, 6-inch 
bloom is a gorgeous shade of red, with a 
rich fiery red eye zone. While its petals 
are not the widest, they are far from 
being narrow. Its deep rich red eye zone 
extends down to the canary-yellow throat. 
Really a lovely and more glorified Rose 
of Texas. Ht. 3 ft. May, June. $3.00.
