SELLWOOD GLORY 8B-FD-Dk Bl (Beyerle- 
Rocky River) Here is one that is dis- 
tinctive. Seven to eight inch blooms of 
mahogany overlaid purple, suffusing to 
distinct white edging of each petal. It is 
not a bi-color. Coloration of the flower 
is very uniform; not a single solid col- 
ored flower in more than a hundred hills 
grown here. A formal decorative, with 
good keeping qualities, no open cen- 
ters, and good cutting stems. Very 
popular with our florists as it lends 
itself well to unusual effects in florist 
work. Even the foliage is attractive. 
Size 7x3. 
Root $2.00, Plant $1.00

wood-Ruschmohr) This was the largest

Plant growth is robust. Not an early
