Solange (Lemoine 1907) 9.27 Here is a beauty that takes a long time to make its ap- 
pearance from the opening bud. The petals are so densely packed, they produce 
the effect of two or three flowers trying to develop from one bloom. Color 
creamy white with a suffusion of buff and pale salmon pink. Fragrant. $2.00 
The Fleece (Kelsey 1936) A big, full petaled, fleecy double white with green gold 
at base of petals. Flowers are very large and fragrant. Stems strong, with light

whites. Received Honorable Mention at the A. P. S. Syracuse show. $2.00 
Thura Hires (Nicholls 1938) Large petaled white with a heavy overlay of lemon 
yellow. Late midseason bloomer. When first opening the yellow is decidedly 
apparent. A very lovely creation that you will want to add to your collection. 
$2.00 
To Kalon (Kelsey 1936) Double late-midseason. A pure white of real exhibition 
quality. Mr. Kelsey’s description follows: “Gold, overlaid with silver and wrought 
into a perfect arrangement of petals, that’s To Kalon. It is distinctive on account 
of the golden tones coming from the depth of the flower. Bloom, large rose 
formation, midseason, semi-dwarf, good strong stems with dense foliage to the 
ground.” Mr. Kelsey chose the Greek name To Kalon, meaning “The Beautiful.” 
$2.50 
Victory (Thompson 1945) On opening the flowers are ivory deepening to blush pink 
in the center, changing to pure white with no markings when fully open. The 
flowers are fully double and exquisitely formed. Petals are wavy giving the open 
flower distinctive charm. The substance of the petals is most remarkable, giving 
the flowers that long-lasting quality. Plants bloom freely, have good healthy 
foliage and strong, stiff stems. Late bloomer. $4.00

of red. Outside petals are pure white, central petals are pink and yellow with
