SOUTHERN BELLE (LaMotte-Rocky River) 
A most distinctive novelty; white at the 
centers with the outer one-half to one- 
third deeply suffused rose-red. Experts 
do not agree on type, which has some 
characteristics of formal, informal, and 
semi cactus. Petals are arranged as in 
a formal, but are deeply cleft, giving 
the appearance of a semi cactus. Many 
have called it the most beautiful flower 
in our fields. Plants are strong, open 
growers. Stems are long and slender, 
and nodes are widely spaced. As a 
cut flower, it has been an instant success 
among Cleveland florists. Size 6x3. 
SOUTHERN BELLE was certified at 
Atlanta and Cincinnati with scores of 
85.2 and 85 respectively. Listed on 
Messrs Faust's and Eddy's Honor Rolls
