LA BIANCA (Patent pending)—Single corolla 
white, short tube and long upturned sepals 
white, tipped green. Medium strong 
growth, deep green foliage, even good in 
a hanging basket. Medium sized, well 
shaped flowers freely produced and are 
quite heat tolerant and, in fact, do better 
in the warmer sections than in the fog belt. 
35c. (Minimum retail price for 1953 is $1.00 
each.) 
You can propagate your own La Bianca 
in 1953—please read how to go about it, 
on the yellow sheet enclosed in this cata- 
logue. Patent labels of La Bianca available

LACE PETTICOATS (Patent pending)—Doub- 
le corolla white, tube and broad sepals 
white. Corolla is composed of large central 
petals, surrounded by smaller ones that are 
attached to the base of the sepals and so 
are spread out horizontally as the sepals 
curve up. Inside of sepals and petals are 
faintly blushed, in warmer sections more 
shot with pink, enhancing an otherwise all- 
white large double fuchsia. Upright, wil- 
lowy grower. Quite heat tolerant and espe- 
cially fine in the cooler regions. 35c. (Mini- 
mum retail price for 1953 is $1.00 each.)
