BIRCHVILLE GARDENS — Plainville, Connecticut 
PRINCESS (Larus 53) 466—90 
A deep but bright and attractive la- 
vender, with faint rose lines toward 
the throat. Florets are nicely frilled, 
with raised and fluted midribs. Prin- 
cess is a tall grower with 8-10 open 
at a time. Certainly one of the best of 
the 1953 introductions. 
PROSPECTOR (Leffingwell 53) 412—85 
Beautiful light yellow with deeper 
buff-yellow lip petals. Florets are 
beautifully frilled and crimped at the 
edges. Opens 6-8 on a medium tall 
spikes. This one was the big hit at the 
1950 Binghamton show. 
RED FEATHER (Butt 51) 552—85 
Massive smooth dark red that opens 9 
or 10 large florets in perfect formation 
on a toll strong stem. Looks like Butt’s 
best red and should become a heavy 
show winner. Outstanding. 
ROBERT ALAN (Lorenz 49) 412—80 
Wonderful brilliant waxy golden yel- 
low that grows up to 60” tall. Has 20- 
22 buds with 8 open. The large 5 inch 
florets are well placed. Robert Alan 
has a long list of winnings at the 
shows. AA rating at Connecticut, Mas- 
sachusetts & Valleevue Test Gardens. 
ROSE PLUME (Lines 49) 462—75 
A very soft velvety rose that leans 
slightly to the red side of rose. When 
well grown it makes spikes with ten 
or more open and all the rest show 
color. 5% inch florets on an 18 bud 
spikes. 
ROSITA (Woods 52) 563—85 
Certainly one of the best new ones. A 
beautiful shade of light rose with a 
darker rose throat. A very good grow- 
er with 8 to 10 open ruffled and fluted 
florets. Will be extremely popular.
