SOUTHERN BELLE (LaMotte-Rocky River)—A 
highly useful florists’ variety. Blooms about 6x3. 
White centers with outer half, to third, suffused 
deep rose-red. Dainty and striking in appearance. 
Deeply notched petal tips give an initial appearance 
of a semi-cactus. We consider it a formal, others 
class it informal. Stems are very long and slender, 
and the stalks are also slender, with nodes widely 
spaced. Profuse bloomer. Certified at Atlanta in 
1950. On Flower Grower’s Honor Roll. ~.-.......
