Bicolors and Patterned Flowers

lasts until after dark the next day. A favorite with us. 42”. Midseason. 
Bobolink. Garnet-purple petals; sepals yellow, somewhat dusted. 45” multi- 
flora stems—many wide petaled blooms. Charming and different. 
Cornell. Deep crimson red petals and dusted yellow sepals. Wonderfully 
rich contrast. Recurved, frilled. 42’. Midseason. 
Demi-Tasse. Charming little dwarf bicolor. Garnet red and_ gold. A 
rockery gem. 16” tall. Midseason. Use for edgeing. 
Elizabeth Wheeler. Evening blooming rose-yellow bicolor. 48”. M. 
Haile Selassie. Very large and bold purple-black with wide orange mid- 
rib bands. Most novel multi-petaled effect. 36”. Midseason. 
Madam Butterfly. Rich golden flower with large garnet red eye spot. 
Large, tall and eye compelling. Rare. 40’. Midseason. 
Royal Lady. A butterfly like flower of intriguing form. Flaring, pansy 
purple petals, shading lighter at edges. Recurved sepals of lighter violet 
tints. We like this very much. 38”. Late midseason. 
Polychromes and Shades of Mahogany and Plum 
Brackel. Delectable shades of mahogany and tan with a brocaded overlay. 
A collector’s flower. Large. 30’ stems. Midseason, 
Mirage. Rich ochre-yellow, veined scarlet. Greenish canary throat. Creped 
petals. Early—reblooms even in north. Tops. 36”. 
Niobe. Striking violet-magenta flower. A deeper halo marks the golden 
throat. Star shaped. Medium early. An eye catcher. 38”. 
Olympus (1952). A huge flower, largest in segment area of any Wheeler 
seedling. Beautiful well open form, carried on a well proportioned stem. 
Light orange with areas of glistening light peach dusting. A magnificent 
specimen. Medium late. 
Tiara (1952). A golden flower dusted with bronzy-russet, heavier on 
the sepals. Flower large to very large with wide segments, fully open. 
Petals frilled, recurved, sepals pinched. Orchid like form, vigorous, 
sturdy 44” stems, a standout. 
Sabrina. Magenta and plum shades with a copper overflush which varies 
from day to day. 40” nicely branched stems. Late. 
Scorpio (1952). Very long, very narrow segments, curled. Petals 10” or 
more in length. Light yellow orange with fulvous red dusting, heaviest 
along petal centers. Stems 3’ or more. An extremely large flower and a 
real ‘break’ in form. 
William Penn (1952). This huge flower, carried on 40” stems is a 
garden showpiece. Full formed, widely open, creped petals. A plum poly- 
chrome running from the lighter Attar of Roses through Rose Ash to 
Raisin and deep Catawba, but with more violet than any of these. 
Throat bright canary yellow. Blooms late.
