RED DOUBLES, Auten Originations 
Big Ben Large medium dark red bomb, fragrant, on 
tall stiff stems. Very early, as early as Richard 
Carvel, but surpassing it in every respect. Has 
proven most desirable in the South, the East, and 
central U. S. Highly praised by commercial 
growers who have tested it several years. It 
should be in every commercial planting............ 
Cleopatra A very brilliant red double, some fra-

most important, it is a reliable bloomer, an ad- 
vantage enjoyed by very few of the very late 
kinds. Blooms after Philippe Rivoire and June
