Melody—Fuchsia Pink 
Another Indica type plant, Melody has a more compact habit 
of growth and very dark green, thick, glossy foliage. The fuchsia 
pink flowers are similar io the Kurume, being hose-in-hose—that 
is, with one flower inside of another—but they have the size and 
flat opening habit of the Indicas.

Redwing—Red with Orange Overtone 
Redwing is a real winner. It produces extremely beautiful, 
tuffled, hose-in-hose red flowers, with an undertone of orange. 
Except that it has a neater, more compact habit of growth, Red- 
wing is a typical Kurume type. The flowers compare favorably 
in size with the Indicas, and are exceptionally long-lasting. Four 
color picture is shown on cover.

Ecstasy— White 
This hybrid tends toward the Belgian Indicas in flower, foliage, 
and plant habit, although it is more compact, much hardier, and 
gasier to grow than the true Indicas. The double, high centered 
flowers, up to 4% inches across, are white, often striped or dashed 
with orchid, and have yellow-green markings in the throat. The 
foliage is light green and glossy.

Cardinal—Scarlet 
Similar to Redwing in color of flowers, Cardinal has smaller 
hose-in-hose blooms. Its growth habit is much more compact than 
the Kurumes.
