OUR NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1951 
(Illustrated on front cover) 
MARK TWAIN—Informal decorative. Bright red boldly tipped white. This 
is a fascinating bi-color of brilliant shading and large size. There is no 
variation in the blooms, about one-third of each petal at the tip being 
of purest white. There has never been a solid red flower due very likely 
to the strong tendency toward white. Formation is artistic and unusual 
for this class with petals slightly curled and full to the center. Average 
size is 10 to 11 inches under ordinary field culture with proportionate 
depth. Blooms early and freely on good stems. Medium height. There are 
not many reliable bi-colors. Recommended by Mr. Lynn B. Dudley in his 
1950 Roll of Honor in Flower Grower. Strong Divisions................ $15.00 Net

ROYAL PACIFIC—Formal Decorative. Violet purple of the blue tone. A 
true formal that is outstanding because of its rare and distinctive coloring. 
Especially attractive in the sunshine or under artificial light. Bloom is 
made up of many regularly placed well-cupped petals, leaving no ques- 
tion as to its classification. Grows 11 to 12 inches in size. The long strong 
stems hold the flowers up perfectly, well above the dark ornamental 
foliage. Excellent blooms are produced freely throughout the whole sea- 
son under all weather conditions. While it is a good root maker, sales 
have been heavy and there may be a shortage. Strong Divisions.
