PINK CHIFFON (540 Fischer) The pure orchid pink of this one recalls to mind 
the color of Rima of years ago. Rima was not a good propagator but pink 
chiffon is a good grower and increaser, this combined with it being an early 
bloomer should make this one a popular florst’s flower. S 75c; Bts 2-15c 
ROSEBUD PICOTEE (460 Fischer) We liked the picotee blending and the form 
of this one well enough to use this in our 1953 hybridizing. The buds look like 
rose buds and the rich pink blending out to a halo of rose at petal borders 
entitles it a place among the nicest glads. S 50c; Bts. 2-15c, 10-$1.00 
SOUTHERN BELLE (442 Fischer) For us is a fine salmon rose with prominent 
white throat, An excellent performer, producing perfect spikes. Well ruffled.
