SOUTHERN BELLE [LaMotte-Rocky River, 1951] 
A most distinctive novelty; white at the centers with the 
outer one-half to one-third deeply suffused rose-red. Ex- 
perts 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. A most beautiful flower. 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 florists. Size 6 by 3 inches.

SARETT’S PINK FLAMINGO 
SARETT’S PINK FLAMINGO [Sarett, 1944] 
Incurved cactus. A clear rose pink incurved cactus of 
exquisite color and formation. As the bloom develops, 
colors change: young blooms are shell pink on petal with 
yellow blend at the base; mature blooms are deeper pink, 
with gold tones at the center and slight gold tips. The 
blooms are beautifully formed, with excellent substance 
and perfect centers, pointed, tight and symmetrical. Size 
8-11 inches, stem straight and strong. Vigorous grower, 
free flowering. A sure winner on the show table. Win- 
ner of many medals and prizes.

novelty.
