low midrib extending into the rich yellow cup. July-August. 
CHINA MISS (Bechtold, 1949) (30 in. M.) Each $6.00 
An aureolin yellow self, except for a faint marking on the 
petals, which are ruffled. The blossoms are large and both 
petals and sepals are recurved. It is free flowering and makes 
vigorous growth. 
CHINA ROSE (Russell, 1945) (Dormant) Each $3.00 
This is a real rosy red with a light midrib in each petal and a 
yellow trace around the entire flower. The throat is green and 
the petals are ruffled. 4%-inch bloom. Height 8 feet.

low overcast with red. The throat is green. 3 feet. 
CINDERELLA (Bechtold, 1941) (28 in. M.)

This is a very fine 6-inch flower. The red-wine petals have a 
wide deep purple eye zone with a wide almost white midrib.

in its throat. The vividness of this color pattern represents the 
bright colors found in Mexico.

eye zone; the sepals are lemon.

this one.

lapping petals. Fine. 
DAWN (Perry) Each 50c, 3 for $1.25 
38 inches. It is just about impossible to describe this new Eng- 
lish introduction, for it is such an unusual color that it is diffi- 
cult to check it even with the official color standards. Perhaps 
the originator’s color description, as “rose-buff”’ is as good as 
any. Flower over 5 inches across. July, August. 
DAWN PLAY (Nesmith, 1938) Each $3.00 
An open flower of deep velvety rose, illumined by a golden 
heart. Very tall and stately it has a resplendent beauty that
