RED VELVET (452) (Johnston-Bastian 
752). About same color as Red Charm 
but color has more sheen and sparkle. 
A very healthy grower, will open 6 on 
long strong stem. Good propagator and 
germinator. Red Velvet bulbs keep well 
in storage, which is unusual for a dark 
red. We like everything about . Red 
Velvet and we think you will too. 
L .35; M .25; S .15; B 10-.30. 
RED WING (436) (Wright 748) (85 days) 
Seedling x Red Charm). This glad has 
won more plaudits than any other red 
in recent years. Produces campanile 
spikes with 8-10 514-inch florets open 
at a time. Color is a glossy light scarlet- 
red, almost a self. Round florets, a light 
ruttling: Tr .20; M .15;) S’:10;,Be10-.25. 
THE ROAN (485) (Pruitt, 1949) (85 days) 
We cut scores of truly magnificent 
spikes of The Roan last summer. This 
glad is one of my top favorites. The 
color, light red when seen at a distance, 
proves upon closer inspection to be deep 
red interlaced with veinings of white. 
* It’s more beautiful than it sounds! In 
addition, the heavy substance, lavish 
ruffling, and ‘‘knuckles’’ in the throat 
give it surpassing beauty of form. The 
~ Roan is as handsome as it is unjque.
