great deal of class. Fragrant. An excellent, lovely white that 
is outstanding. 
MATILDA LEWIS (Sanders) (9.0) Each $2.00 
A large midseason, loosely formed dark maroon red. Resembles 
Mons. Martin Cahuzac in color, foliage and stem, but the flower

grower than Mons. Martin Cahuzac and comes into flower a 
week earlier.

Very good. 
MAUD L. RICHARDSON (Hollis, 1904) (8.5) Each $1.00

son bloomer. High built crown. Large flowers. Fragrant. 
MEISSONIER (Crousse, 1886) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 
Very brilliant red. In some cut-flower markets, known as the 
American Beauty Peony, because of its resemblance in color to 
the rose of that name. Good cut-flower variety. 
MEL GEDGE (Kelsey, 1937) Each $5.00 
For those who worship bigness, this flower satisfies that ambi- 
tion. A huge, milk-white double that unfolds into a charming 
globe of loveliness. Rarely do you see such size and beauty so 
skillfully combined. Barly midseason bloomer.

It richly deserves this rating. Very large, full rose type. Color, 
a most pleasing light pink. Stiff stems, strong grower, reaching 
50 inches in height, with foliage to the ground. A grand cut- 
flower, as it has splendid keeping qualities. An introduc- 
tion of Mr. Franklin that has received numerous awards and a 
variety that has truly outstanding merit. 
MISS INNOCENCE (Kelsey, 1936) Each $3.00 
Double flesh white flowers, fragrant. Dainty 7-inch blooms, 
loosely formed. Broad outer petals becoming smaller and in- 
curved as they reach the center bloom. Perfectly formed, early 
midseason bloomer. 
MADAME CLAUDE TAIN (Doriat, 1927) (8.74) Each $1.25 
Resembling Baroness Schroeder much in coloring with perhaps 
a better stem this is a very fine flower, its rosy white flowers
