1954 Release 
Character chnalysis 
We not only predict a brilliant future for 
Richland Pose both as a commercial and exhibi- 
tion variety, we fully expect it to prove the 
most outstanding glad since Spic & Spa. 
Clean, rich medium rose, deepening some- 
what towards petal edges, with deeper rose 
stipple over white on lip petals, color never 
peals or flecks, nor is it duplicated in any 
other variety. 
19 to 23 buds, 9 open in the field,with 6 
or 8 more in color; keeps well and opens from 
tight bud, standing as much iff not more rough 
handling as any variety 1n our experience and 
it’s ability to withstand wind damage is second 
to none of it’s height, 5 ft. 2 in. 
Germination and propigation on a par with 
the very best in fact. 
Richland Rose presents a challenge to any 
other variety to outpoint 1t on points of 
superiority either as to beauty, performance 
or overall value. 
Here you have color value, fluteing and ex- 
trene ruffeling combined with a substance and 
texture you will marvel at, together with eye 
appeal that will not wear thin; only it’s mid- 
season bloom date disqualifies it as the per- 
fect glad, even so, we can guarantee it will 
invade your list of personal favorites, so 
watch for future anouncements.
