REBOUND. A very bright showy rose. Several shades 
deeper than Early Rose, and a great early cutter. Not 
too much for exhibition, but nothing better for a cut 
flower. Florists call for it. Will be in great demand. L., 
75ce; M., 50c, 5 for $2.00; Blts., 20 for $1.00. 
RED CHERRY. Red Cherry is the No. 1 early cut 
flower red. Not only because of its earliness, but it is a 
100% cutter. Bright glowing red that just shines. Nice 
long spikes with 8-10 514” florets open. One could hardly 
ask for more. L., 35c; M., 25c, 5 for $1.00; Blts., 10 for 
25c, 100 for $2.00. 
REGAL LADY. Can win for the most beautiful spike 
in any show. A wonderful ruffled deep pink. Can open 
12 5%” florets, and hold them well. It’s really some- 
thing. If you want a pink that will win, this is it. L., 
$1.00; M., 75c, 3 for $2.00; Blts., 12 for 75c. 
RED GLEAM. Heavily ruffled and needle painted 
scarlet with creamy yellow throat. Called a glorified 
Beacon. But much better than Beacon. Grows 60” tall.

grower, and very attractive. L., $2.00; M., $1.50; S., 
$1.00; Blts., 25¢ with a bulb order.

in throat. 9-11, 542” florets open on a 22-bud, 30” spike.

$2.00; S., 50c, 5 for $2.00; Blts., 15 for $1.00. 
RETTA JO. Heavily ruffled light yellow. More for- 
mal and compact than Gene, and larger florets, 5 51%”. 
Opens 8-10 on a 24-bud spike. Height 56”. 100% cutter, 
and good keeper. Germination and production good. 
Both Gene and Retta Jo are early bloomers. 70 days.

RHETT BUTLER. The finest early scarlet in com- 
merce. Blooms in 60 days. Gets the top price by reason 
of its earliness. Just about the brightest thing in my 
patch. A “must have” for the flower trade. L., 25c; M., 
20c, 6 for $1.00; Blts., 50 for 50c. 
RUBY (252 class). Pure dark red without markings. 
A wonderful performer, and a great show winner. Opens 
5 florets on a 15-bud spike. An early bloomer. A great 
miniature. L., 30c; M., 25c, 5 for $1.60; Blts., 10 for 50c. 
RUBRA. One of the darkest, also one of the most 
attractive smokies. Color almost a walnut brown with 
darker throat. Florets look like big dark butterflies. 
Opens 6 5%” florets on a nice spike. Everyone likes it. 
L., 30c; M., 20c, 6 for $1.00; Blts., 50 for 50c.

enough for the trade. Florists call for it. Smoky rose

Blts., 100 for $1.00. 
SEASHELL (Roberts, 540 class). An exquisitely 
beautiful pink of a delicate color, approximating that 
much desired ‘‘Coryphree” pink. The small throat spot 
is pure white. Tall husky grower with average length 
flower head. Florets are very large, up to 6%”, with 
broad petals, nicely frilled and of heavy substance. Many 
say seashell is one of the most beautiful of all pinks. 
Truly a giant. L., 75c.; M., 50c, 3 for $1.25; Blts., 4 for 
25c, 50 for $4.00.
