ALZADA 
RosE DEFIANT X JACK PoT 
(About 65 days)...Sdlg. No. O.K.-61. Smoky old rose 
with big cream blotch with no markings. No flecking. 
Unique, different and very beautiful color everyone likes. 
We have had several opportunities to sell this glad out- 
right but refused all offers. Blt. production is good and 
it blooms from bulblets. While it has won three blue 
ribbons, Tri-State both 1946-48 and Ohio State 1947, we 
are not introducing it as a big show prospect but as a real 
novelty. We have never been able to get more than six 
open on it. 54 in. 18 buds, 28 in. head, 60 in. overall, 
very strong attachment, husky growth and healthy and 
has also been with us a long time, blooming first in 1941. 
If it would open 8 or more we would introduce at a much 
higher price. Each No. 4, $3.00; No. 6, $2.00; Blts. each 
40 or 5 for $1.50.
